How military ambition, climate change and extractive economics are transforming the Arctic into the epicentre of a new cold war Russian spies. Sabotaged pipelines. Undersea communications severed in the dead of night. Tensions are building at the top of the world and the Arctic - the fastest-warming place on Earth - stands at the crossroads of geopolitical ambition and environmental catastrophe. As thawing ice opens up new trade routes, untapped natural resources and long-frozen biological weapons, award-winning commentator Kenneth Rosen draws on first-hand reportage and testimony to document the race to control this strategically crucial territory. Above the Arctic Circle, the world''s superpowers stand on the brink of a new cold war - and every day it grows hotter. Timely and incisive, Polar War is an indispensable account of the interests, landscapes and people that define the world''s most extreme frontier.
