World War II was the most destructive war in human history, and its impact on the environment transformed American lands, waters, ecologies and communities. The war created or significantly expanded a number of industries, put land to new uses, spurred urbanization, transformed agriculture and left a legacy of pollution and toxicity that would take decades to rectify. Join the Mershon Center as editors of the recently published Nature at War: American Environments and World War II discuss their work in exploring the impact of World War II on the United States and its environment.
