Focusing on the controversial 'Bowman expeditions,' this study examines how geographers, backed by the US Army, are mapping the 'human terrain' of foreign countries. Wainwright critiques modern human geography, employing contemporary social theory to challenge the foundational aspects of the discipline. The work provokes thought on the ethical implications and the evolving role of geography in relation to military and political agendas.
