A highly readable and thoughtful account of the determined efforts
to call governments to account over the appalling human cost of
landmines...The Devil's Gardens, with its unflinching
descriptions of mines and their effects, might help to remind us of
the limits of progress so far * Independent *
The Devil's Garden is a thoroughly researched and compelling
history of landmine use and development * Sunday Tribune *
The book poses many questions regarding the irresponsible use and
proliferation of mines and provides a ray of hope that treaties and
de-mining campaigns will end the landmine devastation of innocent
civilians * Military Review *
