To understand how Albert Einstein's pacifist and internationalist thought matured from a youthful inclination to pragmatic initiatives and savvy insights, Holmes gives readers access to Einstein in his own words. Through his private writings, she shows how Einstein's thoughts in response to the war evolved from horrified disbelief, to ironic alienation, to a kind of bleak endurance.
