Book Description

In 1919 the Prussian Ministry of Science, Arts and Culture opened a dossier on "Einstein's Theory of Relativity." It was rediscovered by the author in 1961 and is used in conjunction with numerous other subsequently identified 'Einstein' files as the basis of this fascinating book. In particular, the author carefully scrutinizes Einstein's FBI file from 1950-55 against mostly unpublished material from European including Soviet sources and presents hitherto unknown documentation on Einstein's alleged contacts with the German Communist Party and the Comintern. Siegfried Grundmann's thorough study of Einstein's participation on a committee of the League of Nations, based on archival research in Geneva, is also new. 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 on Einstein is thus filled, contributing much new material toward a better understanding of Einstein's so rigorous break with Germany.

Book Description

"1535 pages of files copied from FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C., and archived on CD-ROM covering Albert Einstein. Files contain approximately 700 narrative pages from the investigations conducted by the FBI regarding the famous physicist. From the 1930's until his death, the FBI conducted a number of investigations to determine whether Einstein was a threat to the United States. Files chronicle attempts by non-government organizations in the U.S. to keep Einstein out and rumors of attempts by the Soviet Union to get him move there, instead of United States. Files show the Immigration and Naturalization Service investigated the possible revoking of Einstein's citizenship in 1951, due to suspicion that his secretary and housekeeper was a Soviet agent. The FBI investigation of his political activity concluded that Einstein was a member, sponsor, or affiliated with fifty communist fronts between 1937-1954. He also served as honorary chairman for three communist organizations. CD contains 13 pages of 1943-44 Albert Einstein letters to the U.S. Navy's Bureau of Ordnance related to the development of torpedoes and using mathematics in this process to maximize the impact of torpedoes against enemy ships. The letters include drawings and calculations Einstein made to illustrate his points. CD contains 20 pages of correspondence between Einstein, Franklin Roosevelt, Roosevelt advisor Alexander Sachs and Manhattan Project Director Vannevar Bush, relating to the creation of the Manhattan Project. In August, 1939, Albert Einstein sent a letter to President Franklin Roosevelt warning that Nazi Germany was attempting to build a new weapon which was more powerful and more destructive than any weapon ever known to mankind."--Http://www.paperlessarchives.com/einstein.html.

Book Description

The worst difficulties from which we suffer do not come from without. They come from within. They do not come from the cottages of the wage-earners. They come from a peculiar type of brainy people always found in our country, who, if they add something to its culture, take much from its strength. Our difficulties come from the mood of unwarrantable self-abasement into which we have been cast by a powerful section of our own intellectuals. They come from the acceptance of defeatist doctrines by a large proportion of our politicians. But what have they to offer but a vague internationalism, a squalid materialism, and the promise of impossible Utopias? Winston Churchill, 'England', 24 April 1933, Royal Society of St George, London.
