  This is a portrait of Albert Einsten, looking at his life and work from a personal perspective. This biography uncovers Einstein's relationships with his family and the three most important women in his life - his first and second wives and his mother. Drawing from archival evidence from Berlin, Zurich, Boston, Edinburgh and Oxford, and on unpublished papers and interviews with scholars, family and friends, it convincingly challenges the carefully cultivated image of Einsten as a modern saint.

  Although there have been hundreds of books on Einstein's scientific achievements, none has captured the essence of the man. This biography uncovers Einstein's relationships with his family and the three most important women in his life: his first and second wives and his mother. Drawing on new archival evidence, papers and interviews with scholars, this book challenges the carefully cultivated image of Einstein as a modern saint. Roger Highfield is co-author of The Arrow of Time .
