Trade Review
Treating the sea mine and the land mine as siblings, Youngblood tells the history of mine warfare from the origins of the mine through the development of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines and the signing of the 1997 Ottawa Convention limiting the manufacture and use of antipersonnel mines. He discusses technical, tactical, and strategic developments in mine warfare along with the experiences of those who developed mines and those who had to deal with them on the battlefield. * SciTech Book News *
