Read these stories in the hopes that future ones need never be written. --Peter Gleick, environmental scientist and communicator This anthology is a much-needed volume of essays on the negative impact that the militarization of our world has on our planet--on the humans, animals, plants, oceans, lands, and air. --Ann Wright, former colonel, U.S. Army, former diplomat, antiwar activist 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.
