Albert's Boy

Albert's Boy

Work:: Albert's Boy (S663302509)

Albert Einstein is not feeling too good. His house is empty, his cat is missing, he can t remember where he put his violin - and he is slowly driving himself insane as he struggles to solve the unanswerable question - "Did I do the right thing?" When a family friend, newly released from a Chinese POW camp, comes to visit, a warm reunion soon becomes an explosive collision of opposing beliefs on the subjects of evil, the winning of wars, and the construction of the world s first weapon of mass destruction the atomic bomb.
Author James Graham
