This landmark book tells a powerful story, continent by continent, of the development of U.S. security strategy over the past century into a global system of military bases and facilities for military intervention that has corrupted democratic values, economic and social well-being, and environmental sustainability in every country that the system touches, including the United States itself.--Elise Boulding
