If I'm wrong, name the book?
I know it is wasted on you, but you could try:
Abraham Pais, Subtle is the Lord.
(beware, it is also a scientific biography,
so much of it wil be too difficult for you)
Note that Pais was appointed at Princeton in 1947,
that he had an office next to Einstein,
and that they met on an almost daily basis,
until Einstein's death in 1955.
They often had lunch together, and they went for walks in the park.
What makes you think that Abraham Pais
would have lied directly and completely
about all he learned in his contacts with Einstein?

Only 20 percent of the book is a bio, the rest about the science.
and the bio part contains untruths according to Amazon reviewers.
Now i have to find that 20 percent and see wats in it.
I'll begin with just the cover of the book...
"Subtle is the Lord."
Einstein didn't say that. Einstein said "God is subtle, ..."
I could go on and on about *just* the cover of the book...
but let me give you a quote what the author said in his book...
"In all the years I knew
Einstein, I never read any of his papers..." -Abraham Pais, Subtle is
the Lord

somebody said to Pais...
"Hey man, you knew Albert Einstein, why don't you write a book about him???!!"
"Yeah, I could use the fuckin money but, but,..."
"But WHAT?"
"[WHISPER] I never read any of his papers."
"YOU MEAN ALL THAT TIME YOU KNEW HIM YOU NEVER READ ANY OF HIS FUCKIN PAPERS???!"
"Why would I need to read his fucking papers, I'm smarter than him!...he
was just a fucking retard! He never looked at me once in the eyes!!!"
"Every time I talked to him he would look the other way!!!"
WHY?"
"I DON'T KNOW,. HE MUST BE A FUCKING RETARD!!!!"
"Well, go read something and write a book, stupid!"

Einstein didn't say that. Einstein said "God is subtle, ..."
Pais said that, on that cover.
Einstein said: "Raffiniert ist der Herrgott, aber boshaft ist er nicht".
You can render that in English in various ways.
The cover of the book is of course Pais' responsibility,
not Einstein's.
I could go on and on about *just* the cover of the book...
Yes, that's just you. Trivialities above all.
You could have a look at the wikiparticle about it instead,
if reading the book itself is too much for you, <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtle_is_the_Lord>

Yes, very bad of Pais, isn't it?
BTW, that's what the book is praised for.
and the bio part contains untruhs according to Amazon reviewers.

You would have done better to find that out
before making your claim that it is all lies,
Jan
In otherwords, it is NOT a book about Einstein....
"The first biography to emphasize the physicist's scientific research rather than his life..." -The New York Times
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subtle_is_the_Lord
The Subject heading of this thread is... Books about Einstein.
"about"...refering to Einstein, not his work, rather his life.
Like for example, he didn't like the Germans because they killed one of his cousins, and he like to bang his cousins.
