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> 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.
