Vidas Minadas

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.
