Documents the aftermath of war in terms of the 'landscapes of enduring terror and memory'; undetonated bombs and mines; the bones of war dead; the continuing danger of nuclear radiation and biological weaponry. Specific examples include the millions of acres of French farmland cordoned off because of World War I unexploded mines and bombs; the debris of destruction in the wake of Stalingrad; the radiation hazards of the US Nevada test site of the 50s; the psychological affects of the war on the Vietnamese; and the aftermath of sophisticated weaponry used in Kuwait.
