SUMMARY:Kenneth R. Rosen: "Polar War - Submarines\, Spies\, and the Struggl
 e for Power in a Melting Arctic"
DESCRIPTION:Russian spies. Nuclear submarines. Sabotaged pipelines. Underse
 a communications severed in the dark of night. The fastest-warming place o
 n earth – where apartment buildings\, hospitals\, and homes crumble dail
 y as permafrost melts and villages get washed away by rising seas – the 
 Arctic stands at the crossroads of geopolitical ambition and environmental
  catastrophe. As climate change thaws the northern latitudes\, opening onc
 e ice-bound shipping lanes and access to natural resources\, the world’s
  military powers are rushing to stake their claims in this increasingly st
 rategic region. We’ve entered a new cold war – and every day it grows 
 hotter.\n\nIn Polar War\, Kenneth R. Rosen takes readers on an extraord
 inary journey across the changing face of the far north. Through intimate 
 portraits of scientists\, soldiers\, and Indigenous community leaders repr
 esenting the interests of twenty-one countries across four continents\, he
  witnesses firsthand how rising temperatures and growing tensions are resh
 aping life above and below the Arctic Circle. He finds himself on the trai
 l of Navy SEALs training for arctic warfare\, embarks on Coast Guard patro
 ls monitoring Russian incursions\, participates in close-quarter-combat tr
 aining aboard foreign icebreakers in the Arctic sea ice\, and visits remot
 e research stations where international cooperation is giving way to espio
 nage and the search for long-frozen biological weapons.\n\nDrawing on hund
 reds of interviews and three years of reporting from the frontlines of cli
 mate change and great power competition\, Rosen blends incisive analysis w
 ith the vivid immediacy of a travelogue. His deeply researched and persona
 l accounts capture the diverse landscapes\, people\, and conflicted intere
 sts that define this complex northern region. The result is both an elegy 
 for a vanishing landscape and an urgent warning about how the race for Arc
 tic dominance could spark the next global conflict.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nAbout th
 e Author:\nKenneth R. Rosen is the recipient of a Kurt Schork Award\, a B
 ayeux-Calvados Award for War Correspondents\, and was a two-time finalist
