Taming the Landmine

Original brown boards with white titling on the spine. Pictorial end papers. 128 pages, profusely illustrated in black and white. Previous ownership on fep. A very good copy in the dust jacket.

A first book written on the development of the landmine as a tactical weapon and the efforts that have been made to combat its devastating effects. The term landmine is a personal preference of the author, although the device has been variously called anti-tank mine, vehicle mine, ant-vehicle mine and so on.
