Having the advantage of knowing Einstein personally during the last nine years of his life and having access to some of his 50,000 pages of letters and science papers, the author fills many gaps about what we know of Einstein's life. It deals with his interest in philosophy, his concern with Jewish destiny, and his opinions of great figures from Newton to Freud. Also depicts the state of physics at the turn of the century and how Einstein transformed the field.

Abraham Pais has written a superbly documented and clear biography of Albert Einstein, whom he knew personally. This biography is enhanced by a most clear and pertinent exposition of the work of other great contemporaries of Einstein, such as Minkowski, Lorentz, Planck, etc. The writing is excellent, detailed, yet easy to read, either sequentially or in segments. My only regret is that I did not read this book many years ago.
