When American forces arrived in Vietnam, they found themselves
embedded in historical village and frontier spaces already shaped
by past conflicts. American bases and bombing targets followed
spatial and political logics influenced by the footprints of
previous wars in central Vietnam, and these militarized landscapes
continue to shape postwar land-use politics. Footprints of War
traces the long history of conflict-produced spaces in Vietnam,
beginning with early modern wars and the French colonial invasion
in 1885 and continuing through the collapse of the Saigon
government in 1975. Drawing on extensive archival research and
years of interviews and fieldwork in the hills and villages around
the city of Hue, David Biggs integrates historical geographic
information system (GIS) data and uses aerial, high-altitude, and
satellite imagery to render otherwise inscrutable sites as living,
multidimensional spaces. This personal and multilayered approach
yields an innovative history of the lasting traces of war in
Vietnam and a model for understanding other militarized landscapes.
