The academic book "War and Environment" offers a comprehensive analysis of the complex interactions between armed conflicts and both human and natural environments. It not only highlights the environmental destruction caused by military actions and arms activities but also examines how environments themselves influence armed conflicts. Through concrete historical examples, such as World War II in Europe and Asia and the Vietnam War, the evolution of these relationships is made visible. The authors pose systematic questions about the impacts of wars on environments and demonstrate how militarization leads to the development of new "war landscapes." With contributions from various experts in the field of social sciences, an interdisciplinary approach is pursued that integrates both historical and social scientific perspectives.
