Sommario/riassunto

Are today's environmental crises linked to the plans for World War 3? The United States and its allies prepared for a global struggle against the Soviet Union by using science to extend 'total war' ideas to the natural environment. This book links environmental warfare to the environmental crises of the 1970s and beyond.
