How Einstein's theory of gravitation experienced a Renaissance after World War II

(Springer) Einstein's 1915 theory of gravitation (General Relativity), is now considered one of the pillars of modern physics. It contributes to our understanding of cosmology and of fundamental interactions between particles. But that was not always the case.
