I wonder why the most important element of their political biography is not mentioned: they were among the Göttingen Seven.[1]

This is a short book review.

I have looked at the book contents and large parts of two book chapters are about this event, in one chapter about the circumstances that lead to the protest and in the other about its consequences.

Thanks for the Wikipedia link, I was not aware that the very important physicist Wilhelm Eduard Weber (for whom the magnetic flux unit is named), took also part in this protest.
