"The climate crisis has enormous national security implications, and no one knows that better than Sherri Goodman, who long ago coined the phrase ‘threat multiplier’ to capture the ways this environmental wrecking ball would inform policymakers in situation rooms everywhere. There is no one better to take readers along on the Pentagon's journey wrestling with this new and evolving reality implicating basing, training, peacekeeping, and much more. A must read for everyone who wants to understand why climate imperatives aren't just for environmentalists." ― John F. Kerry, former Secretary of State and Special Presidential Envoy for Climate
"As Secretary of Defense, I observed how our allies and partners face direct risks to their stability from a changing climate. Sherri Goodman's insiders' view shows us how our nation's military leaders are making decisions that improve our global resilience to climate change." ― Chuck Hagel, former Secretary of Defense and US Senator
“A memoir by a fighter in a decades-long campaign to make U.S. defense policy take climate change and the environment seriously…It’s a reminder that progress can be made, however slowly it may go. More significantly, it’s a reminder that progress mostly has less to do with sudden revolutionary change than with the steady work of repeating oneself in nice conference rooms in the hopes of catching the ear of people who can change policy ever so slightly.” ― The Washington Post
