Index
Jozsef Illy is the visiting editor of the Einstein Papers and a visiting associate in history at the California Institute of Technology.
Illy has assembled more than 160 press reports of the tour, forming
a wonderful record of the media reception of Einstein.
—Times Literary Supplement
Provides a fascinating glimpse into Einstein's superstardom. It
also illuminates some unexpected things, such as the tremendous
lingering hostility to Germany in the America of 1921 and the
effect his Zionism had on the scientific community's response to
him.
—San Francisco Chronicle Book Review
This book is an excellent addition to the Einstein literature
because it covers new ground . . . Highly recommended.
