"The U.S. military economy incorporates hundreds of American communities. This is the first book to connect our national security apparatus to the local level, via deeply-reported portraits of a few of them, including military meccas and out-of-the-way sites woven into the warfare economy by military bases, nuclear weapons labs, and production sites. It includes an overview of how the military is structured, how its budget is made, and what it costs. And it explains how the military economy perpetuates itself. The book traces the lines of connection between these tour stops and our country's foreign policy, industrial policy, and budget priorities. It examines the meaning of national security in the current moment, as climate change becomes what the military calls "an urgent and growing threat." And it explains how redirecting our militarized foreign and industrial policy toward climate security can help these communities connect to "Other Ambitions.""--

"From 1898 onward, the expansion of American militarism and empire abroad increasingly relied on black labor, even as policy remained inflected both by scientific racism and by fears of contagion. Black men and women were mobilized for service in the Spanish-Cuban-American War under the War Department's belief that Southern blacks carried an immunity against tropical diseases. Later, in World Wars I and II, black troops were stigmatized as members of a contagious "venereal race," and were subjected to experimental medical treatments meant to curtail their sexual desires. By turns feared as contagious, and at other times valued for their immunity, black men and women played an important part in the U.S. military's conscription of racial, gender, and sexual difference, even as they exercised their embattled agency at home and abroad. By following the scientific, medical, and cultural history of African American enlistment through the archive of American militarism, this book traces the black subjects and agents of empire as they came into contact with a world globalized by warfare"--

During the two World Wars that marked the 20th century, hundreds of thousands of non-European combatants fought in the ranks of various European armies. The majority of these soldiers were Muslims from North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Central Asia, or the Indian Subcontinent. How are these combatants considered in existing historiography? Over the past few decades, research on war has experienced a wide-reaching renewal, with increased emphasis on the social and cultural dimensions of war, and a desire to reconstruct the experience and viewpoint of the combatants themselves. This volume reintroduces the question of religious belonging and practice into the study of Muslim combatants in European armies in the 20th century, focusing on the combatants' viewpoint alongside that of the administrations and military hierarchy
