Base Nation by David VineCall Number: UA26.A2 V55 2015
American military bases encircle the globe. More than two decades after the end of the Cold War and nearly three-quarters of a century after the last battles of World War II, the United States still stations troops at some eight hundred locations in foreign lands. These bases are usually taken for granted or overlooked entirely, a little-noticed part of the Pentagon's vast operations...The author shows why we must reexamine the tenets of our military strategy, the way we engage with the world, and the base nation that America has become.
