J Edgar Hoover's Secret War Against the World's Most Famous Scientist.

The never-before-told story of the FBI's campaign to discredit - and deport - Einstein.

From Einstein's arrival in the US in 1933 until his death in 1955, Hoover's FBI, with help from several other federal agencies, collected "derogatory information" in an effort to undermine Einstein's influence and destroy his prestige.

A passionate pacifist, socialist, and internationalist; an outspoken critic of racism; and a personal friend of Paul Robeson and WEB DuBois, Einstein used his immense prestige to denounce McCarthy at the height of his power, publicly urging witnesses to refuse to testify.

Using newly available material, 'The Einstein File' deftly weaves information from Einstein's 2,000-plus-page FBI file with historical details of the period, creating a spy-story-like narrative that provides the first in-depth portrait of Einstein's political beliefs.
