Kenneth R. Rosen has spent a great deal of time above the Arctic Circle, and his new book POLAR WAR covers the great-game politics of territory that may not be covered in floating ice or permafrost in the foreseeable future. We talk about the reasons Trump wants Greenland; the moment in 2007 when Russia claimed the watery North Pole by planting an unusual flag; and the ways in which China may or may not be a “near-Arctic state.”
