CLEARING THE BATTLEFIELD: WHY DE-MINING IS A POWERFUL U.S. CAPABILITY

A BETTER PEACE presents "Clearing the Battlefield: Why De-Mining is a Powerful U.S. Capability," where Shawn Kadlec, Jared Harper, and Rick Coplen discuss the benefits and challenges of conducting humanitarian mine action ("de-mining") in foreign lands.
