Proving Grounds brings together a wide range of scholars across
disciplines and geographical borders to deepen our understanding of
the environmental impact that the U.S. military presence has had at
home and abroad. The essays in this collection survey the
environmental damage caused by weapons testing and military bases
to local residents, animal populations, and landscapes, and they
examine the military's efforts to close and repurpose bases-often
as wildlife reserves. Together they present a complex and nuanced
view that embraces the ironies, contradictions, and unintended
consequences of U.S. militarism around the world. In complicating
our understanding of the American military's worldwide presence,
the essayists also reveal the rare cases when the military is
actually ahead of the curve on environmental regulation compared to
the private sector. The result is the most comprehensive
examination to date of the U.S. military's environmental
footprint-for better or worse-across the globe.
