The United States' presence around the world is more dramatic than one would imagine at first thought.
Published in 2007 during the final days of the G.W. Bush presidency, this book examines that presence around the world.
Not only the United States, but also Britain, France, and Russia continue to have facilities in various places.
The book devotes particular study to various different types of negotiation scenarios between the basing nations and the countries where bases are placed, with the variables being payments and coercion.
Examination of difference between the US as liberator and the US as colonial power, as well as the subject nation being a conquered developed country or a developing country with a weak government.
On the whole, I found the book a fascinating overview of the hard security presence of the United States around the world.
