ReadingTheDots@social.vivaldi.net"Polar War: Submarines, Spies, and the Struggle for Power in a Melting Arctic" by Kenneth R. Rosen. My rating: 5 out of 5 stars. Published in 2026.
Book description: A gripping blend of travelogue and frontline reporting revealing how climate change, military ambition, and economic opportunity are transforming the Arctic into the epicenter of a new cold war, where a struggle for dominance between the planet’s great powers heralds the next global conflict. The fastest-warming place on earth—where apartment buildings, hospitals, and homes crumble daily as permafrost melts and villages get washed away by rising seas—the Arctic stands at the crossroads of geopolitical ambition and environmental catastrophe.
This is a compelling read. It was recommended to me, and I'm glad I took the time to read it. It is really an exposé on humankind's greed an ineptitude.
@lynessence I want to thank you for recommending POLAR WAR to me. Not sure I would have heard of it otherwise. It was excellent.
