Reviews

Hot Spotter's Report is at once a devastating indictment of 'green war' and a hopeful search for new conditions of existence in and beyond the toxic residues of militarism. Written with wit and passion, Krupar's irreverent experiments with fable, satire, and creative non-fiction do much more than disrupt the ongoing sanitization of military violence; they open space for new coalitions and political imaginings in domestic landscapes marked by the legacies of imperial war. A refreshingly novel approach to environmental and political geography. --Bruce Braun, University of Minnesota<br>

A refreshingly novel approach to environmental and political geography. -Bruce Braun, University of Minnesota The nuclear remaking of the world is the ambitious theme of Shiloh Krupar's innovative and often startling new text. Dispatches from a natural world saturated with the toxic products of the U.S. nuclear state perform the uncertain futures, mutant ecologies, and new subjectivities of a post-nuclear America-an important contribution not only to environmental studies, critical theory, and nuclear studies but also to narrative form. -Joseph Masco, University of Chicago
