AlbakiReads Editorial

A country-by-country study of U.S. military basing after 1945

C. T. Sandars examines the agreements and conditions governing the stationing of U.S. forces in independent sovereign states after 1945. Organized as a worldwide, country-by-country survey, the book considers the limits placed on American military presence under what it terms the “Pax Americana.” It sets these leasehold and host-state arrangements alongside the far broader rights exercised by earlier colonial empires through conquest, framing overseas garrisons as a question of sovereignty, power, and international terms rather than simply military deployment.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers studying U.S. military policy and overseas bases
  • Students of post-1945 international relations and sovereignty
  • Those interested in comparative imperial and colonial history

Book overview

The book is a world-wide survey of the terms and conditions under which the United States has stationed her forces in independent sovereign states since 1945. The book analyzes the constraints of the "Pax Americana" country by country and contrasts this with the rights of conquest enjoyed by traditional colonial empires.
