Mormons as Citizens of A Communist State

Raymond M. Kuehne was born in New York City of German immigrant parents and has studied as a Fulbright Fellow at the University of Marburg and as a National Woodrow Wilson Fellow at the University of Virginia. He served in the North German Mission and the Freiberg Temple Mission. Mormons as Citizens of a Communist State was originally published in German in February of 2008.

"Kudos to the University of Utah Press for publishing this excellent treasure trove of essential information about on of the most remarkable chapters not only of Mormon history but of world history!"--The Journal of Mormon History "Kuehne has written the book for an impartial, curious reader who wishes to form his own opinion about what took place with the members of this little religious organization in the GDR. This approach distinguishes itself favorably from so many other accounts and biographies of the history of churches and religious organizations in the GDR. This exciting book should not only be read, it should be studied."--Joachim Heise, Institute for Comparative State-Church Research, Berlin "For those who have knowledge of and interest in the history of East Germany, as well as those interested in the worldwide growth of the Church, this book is invaluable....Rather than interpret or answer his own questions, Kuehne leaves that task to the reader, further underscoring the strength of the book." --BYU Studies
