- Abstract
Julia Ault's impressive monograph joins a growing body of scholarship that explores the contours and contradictions of the GDR's "socialist environmentalism" within circuits of knowledge, policy and technology that traversed the Iron Curtain. Saving Nature under Socialism: Transnational Environmentalism in East Germany, 1968-1990 Ault's deft use of Polish archives and sources expands existing German-German transnational approaches by showing how the Polish United Workers' Party (PZPR) regime evolved from a trusted Soviet bloc partner into a maverick that undermined the SED's control of environmental information.
