Preparation for warfare materially reshapes rural landscapes and
environments; this is a comparative history and geography of
militarized landscapes. The black smoke billowing from burning oil
wells during the Gulf War of 1990-91 directed media and public
attention towards war's devastating environmental impact. Yet even
before the first bomb is dropped, preparation for warfare
materially and imaginatively reshapes rural landscapes and
environments. This volume is the first to explore the comparative
histories and geographies of militarized landscapes. Moving beyond
the narrow definition of militarized landscapes as theatres of war,
it treats them as simultaneously material and cultural sites that
have been partially or fully mobilized to achieve military aims.
Ranging from the Korean DMZ to nuclear testing sites in the
American West, and from Gettysburg to Salisbury Plain, "Militarized
Landscapes" focuses on these often secretive, hidden, dangerous and
invariably controversial sites that occupy huge swathes of national
territories.
