Nauka, Moscow 1977. 8vo. 384 pages. Orig. soft cover. Inserted a long letter from S. Rozenthal, a senior member of the Bohr Institute's secretariate, and a letter from the authors of the book, in russian. With aninscription on the title page. Text in russian. * The letter inserted, consists of three pages, the last page purely with corrections to the book. In the letter, Rozenthal comments on various topics, mentioned in the book, in an attempt to help the authors of the russian biography, if another edition were to be published. As the letter reveals, there have been many mistakes, deliberate or undeliberate, about both the political situation in Denmark before and under the German occupation. Also the famous meeting between Bohr and Heisenberg in Copenhagen during the war, had apparently suffered from the authors, perhaps slightly strong, imagination, and Rozenthal drives romours and hear-says back. Another myth in the book was, that Gestapo should have placed their headquarter right next to the Bohr Institute in the begining of the occupation, in order to have control with Niels Bohr, where the bleak truth were, that first in 1943, the Schalburg Corps were situated there, and not to look after Niels Bohr, since he hed left the country long time before, when he fled to USA.
