Reviews
One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2012 "It is a welcome study as the man fascinates--whether as a scientist or as an activist."--R. Balashankar, Organiser "Few individuals can be as qualified to write about the outlook on the world of Albert Einstein--the man rather than the scientist--as Rosenkranz. Senior editor of the Einstein Papers Project at Caltech and former curator of the Albert Einstein Archives at Hebrew University, the author single-mindedly treats an understudied aspect of the great man's loyalties regarding his Jewish identity and the Zionist movement."--Choice "Rosenkranz had exceptional access to archival materials enabling him to disentangle the complexity of Einstein's exposure to the development of Zionist thought as he interacted with many of its movement's leaders... This is an essential component to an overall intellectual biography of Einstein's personal development and unique attachment to Zionism and an essential addition to an academic collection and worthy for selected synagogue libraries."--Sanford R. Silverburg, Association of Jewish Libraries Reviews
