Between 1989 and 1995, commissioners closed down almost 100 military bases. The process was hailed as a means to "take politics out of base closure," and it succeeded insofar as surplus bases closed after a ten-year hiatus.

He also reveals the ways in which base closure is a classic example of governmental reduction, to be studied for lessons about both the benefits and the hazards of government contraction.
