Suggested Resources for Research
This is a highly abbreviated guide to resources I have found particularly helpful in conducting research about and attempting to understand the history of U.S. wars, U.S. empire and imperialism, U.S. military bases, and related topics of militarism, militarization, and the military-industrial-congressional complex. The books, articles, films, videos, and other works in the endnotes to The United States of War provide a more exhaustive, but still partial, list. The resources here and in the endnotes focus on English-language materials. There are many other important resources in other languages.
Additional resources are on my website www.basenation.us
