That environmental devastation would result from a nuclear war is a givenùbut what of a conventional war? Environmental Hazards of War examines the potential damage from such a conventional war, especially in light of the rapid pace of industrialization over the last few decades. The use of chemical weapons and other toxins, flooding caused by the destruction of dams, and radioactive fallout from crippled nuclear power plants, all are addressed in this sobering volume. Contributors also consider the long-term impact of such destruction and offer various political scenarios that could result in global conflict. A welcome addition for anyone involved in international law, foreign policy, international relations, or international security.
