Summary:
"None of the major institutions in American society take climate change as seriously as the U.S. military. As participants in climate-triggered conflicts abroad, and as first responders to hurricanes and other disasters on American soil, the armed services are already confronting the impacts of global warming. Drawing on previously obscure reports and government documents, Klare shows how droughts and food shortages are stoking conflicts in ethnically divided nations. Pandemics and other humanitarian disasters will increasingly require extensive military involvement. And rising seas threaten American cities and military bases themselves."
