Einstein - The Born-Einstein Letters Foreward

Excerpt from Preface by Diana Buchwald and Kip S. Thorne

Born, Einstein and Bertrand  Russell shared a passion for humanitarian causes. Russell and Born came to know each other well during the war, while Einstein and Russell became close associates in many actions on behalf of nuclear disarmament and international cooperation after the war. They exchanged some 30 letters between 1931 and 1955 including Einstein's last know letter, written only a week before his death on 18 April 1955.
