(From the moment of Einstein's arrival in the United State...)
From the moment of Einstein's arrival in the United States in 1933 until his death in 1955, J. Edgar Hoover's FBI, with help from several other federal agencies, busied itself collecting "derogatory information" in an effort to undermine Einstein's influence and destroy his prestige. For the first time, Fred Jerome tells the story of that anti-Einstein campaign, as well as the story behind it - why and how the campaign originated and thereby provides the first detailed picture of Einstein's little known political activism.

(This unique volume is the first to bring together a wealt...)
This unique volume is the first to bring together a wealth of writings by the scientist on the topic of race. Although his activism in this area is less well known than his efforts on behalf of international peace and scientific cooperation, Einstein spoke out vigorously against racism both in the United States and around the world. Fred Jerome and Rodger Taylor suggest that one explanation for this historical amnesia is that Einstein's biographers avoided "controversial" topics, such as his friendships with African Americans and his political activities, including his involvement as co-chair of an antilynching campaign, fearing that mention of these details may tarnish the feel-good impression his image lends topics of science, history, and America.

(Albert Einstein thought and wrote extensively not just on...)
Albert Einstein thought and wrote extensively not just on the most difficult problems in physics, but also in politics. For the first time, this book collects his essays, interviews, and letters on the Middle East, Zionism, and Arab-Jewish relations. Many of these have never been published in English, and all of them contradict the popular image of Einstein as a pro-Zionist.

He founded the Media Resource Service (MRS) in 1979, a widely acclaimed telephone referral service putting thousands of journalists in touch with scientists. More than 30,000 scientists volunteered for MRS, answering media questions in their areas of expertise. But the success of the MRS was before the Internet. "If I'd really been smart," Jerome said, "I'd have invented the Internet, instead."

Fred Jerome wrote several books. In The Einstein File: J. Edgar Hoover's Secret War against the World’s Most Famous Scientist, Fred Jerome provides the story behind Edgar J. Hoover's investigation and surveillance of Albert Einstein. J. Edgar Hoover disliked Einstein because he supported civil rights, was friends with top African Americans, and because of his views on government. Hoover's file on Einstein included 2,000 pages, mostly comprised of falsehoods, accusations, and rumors. Hoover's goal was to prove Einstein was a Nazi or a spy and have him deported, which never happened. A Kirkus Reviews contributor called The Einstein File "A well-written, provocative account that could alter our views of both Hoover and Einstein."
