"Through case studies of communities around the world, Baker shows that the U.S. armed forces have had a surprisingly large impact both positive and negative, on the affairs of many (but not all) host societies, including economic revitalization, cultural change, and, sometimes, tragic social consequences. In more than a few cases, the U.S. military presence has become politically controversial on a national level. On the other hand, many host nations have successfully circumscribed the activities of military communities, rendering their potentially disruptive presence almost invisible."--BOOK JACKET.
