The Greening of the U.S. Military: Environmental Policy, National Security, and Organizational Change

By
Brian D. Smith

The Greening of the U.S. Military: Environmental Policy, National Security, and Organizational Change is a carefully constructed and well-organized account of the regulation of environmental issues within the Department of Defense (DoD) and the armed services. Author Robert F. Durant recounts and analyzes the organizational changes that took place as the defense establishment moved to comply with significant parts of the environmental regulatory framework that governs civil enterprises. Though it looks as far back as the Truman administration, the book focuses on the administrations of George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton, as well as the early parts of the George W. Bush presidency.
