LANDMINES IN WAR AND PEACE

by Mike Croll

Published by Pen & Sword Military. 1st. 2008

Nearly fine condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. How technology and military tactics defined landminee development and deployment, why they are such an effective weapon of war, and how an unlikely alliance of soldiers, peace activists, development workers and celebrities succeeded in banning the use of anti-personnel mines. Black cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w illustrations. x and 214 pages including index.

A lovely copy!
