Cryptic Concrete explores bunkered sites in Cold War Germany in order to understand the inner workings of the Cold War state.

A scholarly work that suggests a reassessment of the history of geo- and bio-politics
Attempts to understand the material architecture that was designed to protect and take life in nuclear war
Zooms in on two types of structures - the nuclear bunker and the atomic missile silo
Analyzes a broad range of sources through the lens of critical theory and argues for an appreciation of the two subterranean structures’ complementary nature

Ian Klinke is Associate Professor in Human Geography at the University Oxford and a fellow of St John's College. His work covers German geopolitics, Cold War landscapes and the politics of European (dis)integration.
