Purchase options and add-ons

A quarter of a million U.S. troops are massed in over seven hundred major official overseas airbases around the world. In the past decade, the Pentagon has formulated and enacted a plan to realign, or reconfigure, its bases in keeping with new doctrines of pre-emption and intensified concern with strategic resource control, all with seemingly little concern for the surrounding geography and its inhabitants.
The contributors in The Bases of Empire trace the political, environmental, and economic impact of these bases on their surrounding communities across the globe, including Latin America, Europe, and Asia, where opposition to the United States’ presence has been longstanding and widespread, and is growing rapidly.
Through sharp analysis and critique, The Bases of Empire illuminates the vigorous campaigns to hold the United States accountable for the damage its bases cause in allied countries as well as in war zones, and offers ways to reorient security policies in other, more humane, and truly secure directions.
Contributors: Julian Aguon, Kozue Akibayashi, Ayse Gul Altinay, Tom Engelhardt, Cynthia Enloe, Joseph Gerson, David Heller, Amy Holmes, Laura Jeffery, Kyle Kajihiro, Hans Lammerant, John Lindsay-Poland, Catherine Lutz, Katherine McCaffrey, Roland G. Simbulan, Suzuyo Takazato, and David Vine.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A real contribution to the study of the American empire of bases. . . This book is an antidote to parochialsim." ― Truthdig

"These fascinating case studies provide a powerful assessment of the worldwide network of U.S. military bases and the burgeoning anti-base campaign, and analyze the changing nature of empire building and the re-mapping of the sociopolitical terrain within the context of the 'global war on terror.' A major contribution to understanding the causes and consequences of U.S. military bases at home and abroad." -- Kimberly Theidon,Harvard University

"Lutz makes a real contribution to the study of the American empire of bases." -- Chalmers Johnson at Truthdig.com

"Catherine Lutzs The Bases of Empire is a must-read for every American and peace activist. . .Lutz does an extraordinary job distilling the history of U.S. bases and debunking common myths of why theyre needed." ― The Fellowship of Reconciliation

    4.0 out of 5 stars Telling the facts
    Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    It's good to see when someone has the guts to tell a story that is hidden. The US Military has been far too guilty for far too long. As of late, they've gotten much much worse. They're anti-civilian like never before, and it's alarming. Telling the the real story can help to encourage others to join the bandwagon against the heinous scheme.

    The only thing I didn't like about this book was that it was long, and drawn out. Although there were many facts that were displayed, it became repetitive and boring at times, kind of overdone.
