Review Quotes:
"Erin Sikorsky's book is at once necessary and compelling...One of the most convincing elements of the book's argument is that militaries need to scale up preparations for dealing with what were once considered 'worst case' scenarios." --The RUSI Journal
"Climate Change on the Battlefield is a neat, sharp primer on the profound impact climate risk will have and how a range of militaries are - and should be - approaching it ... an essential read for anyone concerned with the future security environment." --Survival: Global Politics and Strategy
