Reviews

a clear, competent and readable survey of a remarkable topic ... this is a useful synthesis which graphically records the burgeoning of a force still far from spent. History, vol. 86, no. 284 America's Overseas Garrisons deserves a wide readership. The book is clearly written and refreshingly jargon free and represents an important addition to the existing literature. Simon Duke, RUSI Journal, April 2001 America's Overseas Garrisons also provides a much-needed update to the existing literature, which dates predominantly from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s. Simon Duke, RUSI Journal, April 2001 It should be noted that though other books that organise the examination of U.S. overseas military installations in a different manner, for example by service category, lack the depth and perspective of America's Overseas Garrisons. Simon Duke, RUSI Journal, April 2001 a most readable account of the terms and conditions under which U.S. military forces have been deployed in a variety of host nations since 1945 Simon Duke, RUSI Journal, April 2001 This solid study is useful to scholars and students interested in US foreign and military policy. W.F.Bell, Choice, March 2001 America's Overseas Garrisons deserves a wide readership. The book is clearly written and refreshingly jargon free and represents an important addition to the existing literature.
