Summary
"A former soldier who planted a landmine in Northern Angola in 1965 recently returned to help find it. The mine was operational, still waiting after thirty years to claim a victim. Landmines are inherently indiscriminate weapons recognizing no cease-fire and, long after the fighting has stopped, continue to maim or kill the children and grandchildren of the soldiers who laid them"--Back cover.
