Take a look for the book The Born-Einstein Letters: Correspondence Between Albert Einstein and Max and Hedwig Born from 1916 to 1955 , edited by Max Born. It is a collection of correspondence between the two jewish physicists (and their wives) in the years before and during WWII. It is an interesting look into their day to day and scientific concerns as they dealt with growing anti-semitism, war, the revolution in physics at the time, and Einstein's growing fame.
The letters show the real person behind the icon that is presented in most of the biographies, "relativity for dummies" books, and stories about his travelling brain.
It is out of print, but I found a copy at the library at my university. It's also available online as an out of print special order.
