Albert Einstein

 

Hailed as a scientific genius, harassed by the FBI as a subversive for his socialist views

This book takes a subversive look at lesser-known aspects of the famous scientist&;s intellectual life, the man whom the FBI thought was "too clever not to track." It presents Einstein&;s denunciation of U.S. use of nuclear bombs in 1945, his socialism and his passionate opposition to war as a profound advocate of radical humanism.

"What I like most about Albert Einstein is that he was a troublemaker."&;Fred Jerome, author of The Einstein File

Rebel Lives books feature writings both by and about individuals who have played significant roles in humanity&;s ongoing fight for a better world. The series shows the not-so-well-recognized political views of some well-known figures and introduces some not-so-famous rebels. Strongly representative of race, class and gender, these books are smaller format, inexpensive, accessible and provocative.
