Every year land mines claim 26,000 new victims in 64 countries. Nearly half of the people affected die before reaching the hospital. The survivors, mostly civilians, suffer horrific mutilations. A photographic collection with testimonials from land mine victims in Cambodia, Angola, Bosnia-Herzegovina, El Salvador, Afghanistan, Mozambique, and Nicaragua, this book is a tribute to all those who have suffered and to the individuals who fought for the International Campaign to Ban Land Mines, which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997.
