520    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 pro-Zionist. 
       He was offered and refused the Presidency of Israel, but 
       had he taken it, he might have said things the Zionists 
       didn't want to hear; he favored a non-religious state that
       would welcome Jew and Palestinian alike. One person's 
       letters, even Einstein's, cannot resolve the crisis in the
       Middle East, but decades later, when horrors of the 
       conflict in the Middle East are familiar to everyone, the 
       reflections of one of the twentieth century's greatest 
       thinkers are a signpost, showing his commitment to social 
       justice, understanding, and friendship between Jew and 
       Arab.--Publisher description.
