Description

Stephen Dycus (au). “Throughout half a cent. of Cold War, we polluted the water & air, made noise, defaced the landscape, & generated millions of tons of haz. & radioactive wastes, all in the name of nat. security,: Dycus writes in this study of the issues raised when the U.S. mil. collides with environ laws. At first, these injuries were the product of ignorance, & then disregard. Then a threat came from the Pres. & the new Republican Congress, whose proposed budget cuts could undermine ongoing protection & clean-up efforts. Discusses the distinctive way that environmental reg’s. apply to the mil. establishment, measures that nat. defense policymakers have taken to clean up nuclear & toxic wastes, impacts of closing mil. bases, & legal constraints on wartime destruction.
