Bricks, Sand, and Marble: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Construction in the Mediterranean and Middle East, 1947-1991 - Couverture souple
Synopsis
The work of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in military construction in the Mediterranean Basin and the Middle East created the infrastructure that made the U.S. policies of deterrence and containment possible. This work included not only construction in support of the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force in these areas but also work executed on behalf of Middle East allies paid for with funds they provided. This book traces the activities of American military engineers from the reconstruction that began in Greece after World War II through the construction of air bases in North Africa, the massive building program in Saudi Arabia, and support for the liberation of Kuwait in 1991. The history provides a background of the present role and position of the United States in that vital region.

In excellent condition, No writing or highlighting, book is crisp and clean. inquire for photos or more details. 100% satisfaction guarantee. --- This historical volume documents nearly half a century of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers building projects across the Mediterranean region and the Middle East, beginning with postwar rehabilitation efforts in Greece and continuing through the conclusion of the Gulf War. The narrative covers the construction of airfields in North Africa, facilities supporting Army and Air Force operations throughout the region, and projects undertaken for allied nations using host-country financing, including the extensive Saudi Arabian program. By examining how engineering work supported American strategies of containment and deterrence during the Cold War, the book situates military construction within the broader framework of U.S. foreign policy and regional security.
