The fifteen essays in this volume offer a comprehensive look at the
role of American military forces in Germany. The American military
forces in the Federal Republic of Germany after WWII played an
important role not just in the NATO military alliance but also in
German-American relations as a whole. Around twenty-two-million US
servicemen and their dependants have been stationed in Germany
since WWII, and their presence has contributed to one of the few
successful American attempts at democratic nation building in the
twentieth century. In the social and cultural realm the GIs helped
to Americanize Germany, and their own German experiences influenced
the US civil rights movement and soldier radicalism. The US
military presence also served as a bellwether for overall relations
between the two countries.
