Content: As Eve Ensler says in her inspired foreword to this book, "Jody Williams is many things-a simple girl from Vermont, a sister of a disabled brother, a loving wife, an intense character full of fury and mischief, a great strategist, an excellent organizer, a brave and relentless advocate, and a Nobel Peace Prize winner. But to me Jody Williams is, first and foremost, an activist."From her modest beginnings to becoming the tenth woman-and third American woman-to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, Jody Williams takes the reader through the ups and downs of her tumultuous and remarkable life. In a voice that is at once candid, straightforward, and intimate, Williams describes her Catholic roots, her first step on a long road to standing up to bullies with the defense of her deaf brother Stephen, her transformation from good girl to college hippie at the University of Vermont, and her protest of the war in Vietnam. She relates how, in 1981, she began her lifelong dedication to global activism as she battled to stop the U.S.-backed war in El Salvador.Throughout the memoir, Williams underlines her belief that an "average woman"-through perseverance, courage and imagination-can make something extraordinary happen. She tells how, when asked if she'd start a campaign to ban and clear anti-personnel mines, she took up the challenge, and the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) was born. Her engrossing account of the genesis and evolution of the campaign, culminating in 1997 with the Nobel Peace Prize, vividly demonstrates how one woman's commitment to freedom, self-determination, and human rights can have a profound impact on people all over the globe.

Content: Eine im Auftrag der Vereinigung amerikanischer Vietnam-Veteranen erstellte Studie untersucht die weltweite Gefährdung der Zivilbevölkerung durch die im Verlauf von kriegerischen Konflikten unkontrolliert verlegten Landminen. Staaten, in denen Bürgerkriege oder innere Unruhen stattfanden und die als besonders minenverseucht gelten, werden angeführt, die dortige Situation geschildert, wobei Anzahl und Sozialstruktur der Opfer gesondert angegeben werden. Verfahren zur Minensuche und Minenräumung werden beschrieben, ihre Anwendung und Erfolge in den einzelnen Staaten erörtert. Es wird festgestellt, daß Afrika der am intensivsten verminte Kontinent ist; die indirekten Folgen der Verminung, wie soziale Folgen durch Verlust von Familienmitgliedern sowie durch Ausfall des verminten Geländes für die Feldbestellung, werden als zusätzliche Härten aufgezeigt. Der Einsatz von Landminen als Problem des internationalen Rechts und die Bemühungen um ein völkerrechtliches Verbot werden ebenfalls beschrieben.

Content: Photojournalist Brian Liu and Mary Wareham, co-founder of the International Campaign to Ban Land Mines (ICBL), begin their documentary Disarm by noting that 80 countries have used or stockpiled antipersonnel land mines and that civilians make up 86% of the casualties. The documentary shows de-mining experts at work, technicians manufacturing artificial limbs, and victims trying to get on with their lives in Bosnia, Colombia, Afghanistan, Belarus, Iraq, and Myanmar (where filming is restricted, but the directors still manage to gather the material they need). In Bosnia and Afghanistan, the filmmakers discover that some of the men defusing the incendiary devices are the very same ones who planted them in the first place. Liu's camera never flinches, capturing some post-explosion sequences that are incredibly graphic (footage of a maimed elephant is particularly hard to shake). The ICBL's Jody Williams, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997 for the Mine Ban Treaty, serves as the de facto narrator, pointing out during her interview that China, Pakistan, Russia, and the U.S. are among the 37 nations who have refused to sign the treaty.
