Description

"This superb study of the "new technical intelligentsia" in East Germany analyzes the ambivalent interaction between engineering professionals and the SED dictatorship, exploring the promise of socialist modernity, the tightening of Stasi control and the failure of innovation in high technology."--Konrad H. Jarausch, Lurcy Professor of European Civilization at the University of North Carolina and Senior Fellow, Zentrum f?r Zeithistorische Forschung, Potsdam (Konrad Jarausch )
