Anti-Personnel Landmines

This volume illustrates and describes all known anti-personnel landmines that have been produced, are available or have been used in battlefields and areas of conflict worldwide. It should be of interest to to both military and civilian mine-clearance specialists. The first part of the book provides an overview of mine a general introduction to mines; a brief history of mine development through the ages; counter-mine warfare; mine breaching (a military function); mine clearance (now both a civilian and a military function); and quality assurance. The author then concentrates on individual mines, each being described and illustrated in its own data sheet, the intention being to provide a guide which could then be used in any theatre of conflict.
