It's one thing to die in combat, it's one thing to die defending land, but it's another thing to die tending cattle on a Saturday afternoon and we want a world where that doesn't happen' - Michael Ignatieff\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring the twentieth century a landmine plague raged across the globe. It began on the battlefields of two world wars, it gathered momentum in Korea and Vietnam and then spread like wildfire throughout the developing world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Devil's Gardens\u003c\/i\u003e is the definitive story of the landmine.
