{"product_id":"footprints-of-war-david-andrew-biggs-9780295743868","title":"Footprints of War: Militarized Landscapes in Vietnam","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen American forces arrived in Vietnam, they found themselves embedded in historic village and frontier spaces already shaped by many past conflicts. American bases and bombing targets followed spatial and political logics influenced by the footprints of past wars in central Vietnam. The militarized landscapes here, like many in the world's historic conflict zones, continue to shape post-war land-use politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFootprints of War\u003c\/i\u003e 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. The result is a richly textured history of militarized landscapes that reveals the spatial logic of key battles such as the Tet Offensive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on extensive archival work and years of interviews and fieldwork in the hills and villages around the city of Hue to illuminate war's footprints, David Biggs also integrates historical Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data, using aerial, high-altitude, and satellite imagery to render otherwise placeless sites into 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor more information visit the author's website: http: \/\/davidbiggs.net\/\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Andrew Biggs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0295743867\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780295743868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/09\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2019","brand":"David Andrew Biggs","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064814907647,"sku":"9780295743868","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c08f1d30-1741-4d3d-88df-00c63af76608.jpg?v=1768671211","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/footprints-of-war-david-andrew-biggs-9780295743868","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
