David Vine
Recenzii
“Who
knew
that
we
have
more
than
eight
hundred
bases
around
the
world?
And
what
do
our
troops
do
there
when
they’re
not
busy
intruding
into
other
people's
conflicts?
Such
questions
lie
at
the
heart
of
David
Vine's
remarkable,
impeccably
written,
and
clearheaded
analysis
of
the
costly
madness
that
is
America’s
current
colonial-military
complex.
His
book
is
a
marvel,
and
all
in
power
should
read
it.”
—Simon Winchester, author ofThe Men Who United the StatesandThe Professor and the Madman
“A useful call to examine a question that gets far less attention than it merits. . . . An entreaty for an explanation, a discussion in plain language, about what the U.S. military is doing in so many places in the world and why.”
—The Washington Post
“U.S. national security policy rests on the assertion that ‘forward presence’ contributes directly to global peace and security. In this powerful book, David Vine examines, dismantles, and disproves that claim. He demonstrates that America's sprawling network of overseas bases imposes costs—not only financial but also political, environmental, and moral—that far exceed what the Pentagon is prepared to acknowledge.Base Nationoffers a devastating critique, and no doubt Washington will try to ignore it. Citizens should refuse to let that happen.”
—Andrew J. Bacevich, author ofLimits of PowerandBreach of Trust
“Just looking at the maps in David Vine’s thoroughly documentedBase Nationwill give you the chills—and seduce you into reading the book. He's performed a kind of modern day treasure hunt, finding and displaying our military forces all over the globe, and then thinking deeply about whether their far-flung presence will achieve or undermine the goal of fostering a peaceful and prosperous world.”
—Dana Priest, coauthor ofTop Secret America
“While I may not share all of David Vine’s conclusions,Base Nationamply demonstrates what a growing number of people across the political spectrum are concluding: the foundation of our military belongs right here on American soil. In the U.S. Senate, I pushed for greater investment in our bases here at home where our forces have greater unrestricted training opportunities and can rapidly deploy worldwide better prepared for combat. Pentagon officials and members of Congress should pay close attention to Vine’s arguments in favor of reducing our foreign presence in the interest of strengthening the future security posture of U.S. military forces and the fiscal health of our nation.”
—Kay Bailey Hutchison, former U.S. senator (R-TX) and chair of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee for Military Construction
