Book Synopsis Shutting Down the Cold War by : David S. Sorenson

Book excerpt: Between 1989 and 1995, commissioners closed down almost 100 military bases. The process was hailed as a means to take politics out of base closure, and it succeeded insofar as surplus bases closed after a ten-year hiatus. But the author of this volume asserts that the politics of base protection continued.
