SparkNotes: Albert Einstein: Times of Peace and War

Albert Einstein
Behind every great man there seems to one or two great women, which seem to be 'ghost-like' apparitions to historians. How much of Einsteins writing was edited and influenced by this erudite female. The Goddess age has reemerged.--eyeofthe raaven Editor comment



Times of Peace and War
In the years just preceding Hitler\'s rise to power in Germany in 1933, Einstein spent less and less time in Berlin until he ultimately left the country for good, spending the final two decades of his life at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. However, one of the major reasons that for Einstein\'s early absences from Germany was not political but health-related; Einstein was consistently falling sick. In February of 1928 he became seriously ill on a visit to Switzerland.
Helen traveled with the Einsteins on lecture tours, moved with them to the United States in 1933, and cared for Einstein after the death of his second wife Elsa.
