Reviews

At last - the red hot link between climate change and conflict laid out clearly, and laid bare. Schwartzstein has been, has seen, and tells it as it is
Peter Schwartzstein's The Heat and the Fury is a richly reported, beautifully rendered, remarkably complex and rewarding meditation on the interplay of planetary instability and human brutality - a landmark work on perhaps the essential question of our time
A compelling and expert read about the most important issue of our times that is in danger of being marginalised by an extraordinary lack of political will.
Fascinating. In a mammoth reporting feat, Schwartzstein takes readers across the world to the frontlines of climate change - from the villages of the Sahel to Iraq's fight against jihadis, while always making sure to include nuance and context. I learnt a huge amount from this book
