The Dilemmas of an Upright Man is a reissue of the life of Max
Planck by J. L. Heilbron. Hollywood would title it 鈥淭riumph and Tragedy鈥�.
Planck鈥檚 quantum theory transformed physics, but his career period was rocked by
two world wars. He stayed in Nazi Germany throughout, even suffering one of
Hitler鈥檚 attacks of hysterical rage while trying desperately to save what he
could of German science from the chaos. Although he could have escaped, he
wouldn鈥檛 leave. Some contemporaries found his obduracy hard to understand.
