"A memoir by a fighter in a decades-long campaign to make U.S. defense policy take climate change and the environment seriously…. what is distinctive, even special, about Goodman’s book is her description of how she moved from academia to Senate staff work to a senior Pentagon position to a perch in the think tank universe. That is a successful career, even a highly successful one, but it is also the sort of trajectory that rarely gets documented…. Goodman’s perspective is valuable. 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
"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
