England''s military heartland provides an eye-opening account of the sprawling military presence on Salisbury Plain, drawing on a wide range of voices from both sides of the divide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTargeted for expansion under government plans to reorganise the UK?s global defence estate, the Salisbury ?super garrison? offers a unique opportunity to explore the impact of the military footprint in a particular place. But this is no ordinary environment: as well as being the world-famous site of Stonehenge, the grasslands of Salisbury Plain are home to rare plants and wildlife.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow does the army take responsibility for conserving this unique landscape as it trains young men and women to use lethal weapons?
