This book is a comprehensive and authoritative account of the global movement to ban landmines. It brings together leading academics, senior policy makers, and prominent leaders of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to examine and draw lessons from the "Ottawa Process" that culminated in December 1997 when over 120 states signed a convention to ban the use, sale, and production of landmines.

This tell it like it is book is an interesting read.,
By A Customer
This review is from: To Walk without Fear: The Global Movement to Ban Landmines (Paperback)
This is a great book which details the struggle that non-profit groups, individuals and countries undertook in order to ban landmines.While it tells the story of the International Campaign To Ban Landmines who won a Nobel prize for their work, this book also chronicles the stories of other such as the landmines survivors whose needs were almost ignored by those trying to help them. The other thing about this book that's interesting is that you can see the techniques these people used to pass a humanitarian law on the international level. All in all a good read.
