Examines the impact of the Czechoslovak and East German uranium industries on local politics and on societies, particularly in the decade or so after the end of the Second World War. The Erzgebirge – the Ore Mountains – on the border of Czechoslovakia and East Germany of the time, was the oldest uranium mine in the world, whose important resources were badly needed for Stalin's atomic bomb.
Rainer Karlsch teaches Economic History at Humboldt University as well as at the Free University, Berlin.
Zbynek Zeman is Professor Emeritus in European History, Oxford University and Lector at the Anglo-American College in Prague.
