| 520 | |a During the Vietnam War, the United States government waged a massive, secret air war in neighboring Laos. Two million tons of bombs were dropped on one million people. The editor, an educational advisor living in Laos at the time, interviewed over 1,000 Laotian survivors. Shocked by what he heard and saw, he urged them to record their experiences in essays, poems, and pictures. This book was the result of that effort. When first published in 1972, this book was instrumental in exposing the bombing. In this expanded edition, the editor follows the story forward in time, describing the hardships that Laotians faced after the war when they returned to find their farm fields littered with cluster munitions - explosives that continue to maim and kill decades after the war. | ||
