Only 99 cents for a rare window into Einstein's cares, motivation, and reflective thoughts during very turbulent times preceding and following WW2. These essays were penned during the last 20 years of his life after escaping Nazi Germany for sanctuary in the USA.

Einstein was able to predict where our path would lead us. Brilliant writing. A must read for anyone interested in history, politics, and/or the course of civilization.

A collection of essays stating the obvious about world issues. Not thought provoking at all.
