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.Military geographyMilitary geographyHistoryMilitary geography.Military geographyHistory.355.47Pearson Chris1979-Coates Peter A.1957-Cole Tim1970-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910818924003321Militarized landscapes3932329UNINA
