"The essays collected here explore the depths and imminence of the
crises, and outline directions that must be pursued, and urgently."
--Noam Chomsky, Institute Professor and Professor of Linguistics
emeritus, MIT
"The War and Environment Reader is packed with powerful writings,
from classics by Margaret Mead to recent investigations of drone
strikes, about why war happens, how it affects us, and how we can
stop it. Everyone who cares about humanity's most urgent
problem--in other words, everyone--should read this book." --John
Horgan, science journalist and author, The End of War
"Even if war were moral, legal, defensive, beneficial to the spread
of freedom, and inexpensive, we would be obliged to make abolishing
it our top priority solely because of the case laid out so
powerfully in this book: war is destroying this planet." --David
Swanson, Director, World Beyond War; author, War Is a Lie
"Gar Smith's War and Environment Reader is a gift to our movement;
it is a powerful collection of voices exploring war from many
perspectives, and calling for a green and peaceful way forward.
Please read this book and join the call!" --Annie Leonard,
Executive Director, Greenpeace US; author, The Story of Stuff
