SUMMARY:Polar War: Submarines\, Spies\, and the Struggle for Power in a Mel
 ting Arctic
DESCRIPTION:Russian spies. Nuclear submarines. Sabotaged pipelines. Underse
 a communications severed in the dark of night. The fastest-warming place o
 n earth\, the Arctic stands at the crossroads of geopolitical ambition and
  environmental catastrophe. As climate change thaws the northern latitudes
 \, opening once ice-bound shipping lanes and access to natural resources\,
  the world’s military powers are rushing to stake their claims in this i
 ncreasingly strategic region. We’ve entered a new cold war—and every d
 ay it grows hotter.In Polar War\, Kenneth R. Rosen takes readers on an ext
 raordinary journey across the changing face of the far north. Through inti
 mate portraits of scientists\, soldiers\, and Indigenous community leaders
  representing the interests of twenty-one countries across four continents
 \, he witnesses firsthand how rising temperatures and growing tensions are
  reshaping life above and below the Arctic Circle. He finds himself on the
  trail of Navy SEALs training for arctic warfare\, embarks on Coast Guard 
 patrols monitoring Russian incursions\, participates in close-quarter-comb
 at training aboard foreign icebreakers in the Arctic sea ice\, and visits 
 remote research stations where international cooperation is giving way to 
 espionage and the search for long-frozen biological weapons.\n\nJoin us fo
 r a conversation between the author and our moderator\, Dr. Rachael Gosnel
