Description: "This book outlines Einstein's image in politics and German science policy. It covers the period from his appointment as a researcher in Berlin to his fight abroad against the "boycott of German science" after World War I and his struggle at home against attacks on "Jewish physics" of which he was made a prime target. An important gap in the literature of Einstein is thus filled, contributing much new material toward a better understanding of Einstein's so rigorous break with Germany."--BOOK JACKET.
