“耻辱之岛”是一本书的书名,“基地国家”是另一本书的书名,这两本书的作者是大卫·凡恩(David Vine),美利坚大学人类学教授。在这两本书中,凡恩教授从学者及平民的立场,审视和讨论美国海外军事基地的形成、发展过程中公众懵然不知或一知半解的种种问题,有他独特的视角。他很会讲故事,常常用具体生动的事例来阐述历史、表达观点,他这两本书,都值得细读。 “The Island of Shame ” is the title of a book “Base Country ” is the title of another book by David Vine, Professor of learning. In both books, Professor Vienn has his own unique perspective in the fields of scholars and civilians in examining and discussing various issues that the public did not know or knew very well during the formation and development of the U.S. overseas military bases. He is good at telling stories and often elaborates history and expressing his views in vivid and vivid examples. Both of his books are worth reading.
