Eagle Glassheim's first book, Noble Nationalists: The Transformation of the Bohemian Aristocracy, was published by Harvard University Press in 2005. His current book, Cleansing the Czechoslovak Borderlands, was published by University of Pittsburgh Press in 2016. Ongoing research interests include the environmental history of the “Black Triangle,” an industrial and coal mining region spanning Poland, Czechoslovakia, and East Germany; and the history of open-pit mining in the twentieth century.
