From the Cold War through today, the U.S. has quietly assisted
dozens of regimes around the world in suppressing civil unrest and
securing the conditions for the smooth operation of capitalism.
Casting a new light on American empire, Badges Without Borders
shows, for the first time, that the very same people charged with
global counterinsurgency also militarized American policing at
home. In this groundbreaking expose, Stuart Schrader shows how the
United States projected imperial power overseas through police
training and technical assistance-and how this effort reverberated
to shape the policing of city streets at home. Examining diverse
records, from recently declassified national security and
intelligence materials to police textbooks and professional
magazines, Schrader reveals how U.S. police leaders envisioned the
beat to be as wide as the globe and worked to put everyday policing
at the core of the Cold War project of counterinsurgency. A
"smoking gun" book, Badges without Borders offers a new account of
the War on Crime, "law and order" politics, and global
counterinsurgency, revealing the connections between foreign and
domestic racial control.
