Description
"In search of Safe Ground examines the legacy left by US bombing during the Vietnam War from 1965 to 1973. This book is a snapshot of the explosive remnants of war (ERW) problem in Eastern Cambodia, where bombs litter the landscape, where children find cluster bombs in their school yard and where farming is coupled with fear. Driven by desperation and lack of choice, villagers till the soil of contaiminated areas to sow their crops. Sometimes this simple act brings devastating consequences. This is the reality in Eastern Cambodia today, where peopleare still, more than 40 years later, In Search of Safe Ground."--Back cover.
