Comment on Albert Einstein’s Advice to His Son

Comments

This is very nitpicky and I apologize for it, but any non-American here a bit miffed by the fact that this is from a book named "Letters of great Americans to their children"?

Einstein was only American for the last 15 years of his life, and it was forced by the politics of the time more than anything else. Unnecessary patriotism (wherever it comes from) is irritating.

Sorry, this is petty :(

And hence, he was an American. You should also add 7 years as he migrated to the US in 1933.
