 The United States has built an empire – a fact that  is rarely disputed by anyone on the left or right.   U. S. military bases and installation throughout the world provide the  foundation for and maintenance of this empire.  But few Americans know just how large  this network is, what  it costs, or its impact on host countries. Join Dr. Gerson as he explains, “how  to build an empire”.
 
 
 Dr. Joseph Gerson, leading nuclear specialist and peace  campaigner, is the Director of Programs of the American Friends Service  Committee in New England and a contributor to Foreign  Policy In Focus. His newest book is Empire and the Bomb: How the United States Uses  Nuclear Weapons to Dominate the World.
