While many books have examined the broader topic of military conflict,
most neglect to focus on damage military violence inflicts on
regional--and global--ecosystems. The War and Environment Reader
provides a critical analysis of the devastating consequences of "war on
the environment" with perspectives drawn from a wide array of diverse
voices and global perspectives. The contributors include scores of
writers and activists, many with first-hand field experience of war's
impacts on nature. Authors include: Medea Benjamin, Helen Caldicott,
Marjoie Cohn, Daniel Ellsberg, Robert Fisk, Ann Jones, Michael Klare,
Winona LaDuke, Jerry Mander, Margaret Mead, Vandana Shiva, David
Swanson, Jody Williams and S. Brian Willson.
