<DIV><p>Environmentalism&mdash;it&rsquo;s the word on everyone&rsquo;s tongue. Reusable shopping bags, hybrid cars, and green home energy solutions allow us to reduce our carbon footprint, but it&rsquo;s only the tip of the quickly melting iceberg. In the midst of the movement to save the earth, <I>The Green Zone</I> presents a sobering revelation: until we address the attack that the US military is waging on the global environment, the things we do at home won&rsquo;t change a thing.</p> <p>This new investigation by author and journalist Barry Sanders examines in detail the environmental impact of US military interventions overseas. In a period of unprecedented scrutiny surrounding the social and economic impacts of the defense policies of the US government, Sanders explores a completely different aspect of the situation and positions military activity as the single-greatest contributor to the worldwide environmental crisis, looking at everything from fuel emissions to radioactive waste to defoliation campaigns.</p> <p>Based primarily on research culled from documents released or leaked by the military itself, <I>The Green Zone</I> is the first book to provide a comprehensive examination of the relationship between militarism and ecological destruction. Includes a powerhouse introduction by urban theorist Mike Davis.</p> <p><B>Barry Sanders</B> is a Fulbright Senior Scholar Grant recipient, has been nominated twice for the Pulitzer Prize, and is the author of eleven books, including <I>Alienable Rights: The Exclusion of African Americans in a White Man&rsquo;s Land</I>; <I>A is for Ox: Violence, Electronic Media, and the Silencing of the Written Word</I>; and <I>Sudden Glory: Laughter as Subversive History</I>.</p></DIV>
