Banesh Hoffman's biography of Einstein is the most exciting I've read. The author is a physicist who is genuinely excited about Einstein's discoveries, and it moves fast instead of trying to leave no detail unpublished (a common flaw in biographies). https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?sts=t&cm_sp=SearchF-_-home-_-Results&an=banesh+hoffman …
Replying to @paulg
Have you noticed the Farmelo biography of Dirac, THE STRANGEST MAN? I suspect it would interest you. Also, how about Heisenberg's fascinating reminiscence, PHYSICS AND BEYOND? Chock-full of delightful stories about Heisenberg's early experiences with Dirac and Pauli.
