For more than forty years Angola has faced conflict. From
1961-1975, there was the struggle for independence from Portuguese
rule. This was followed by a period of civil war which, in one form
or another, extended until 2001, when the UNITA leader Jonas
Savimbi was killed in an ambush. This led to a cease-fire,
armistice and peace. As a result of these 40 years of war the
country has suffered a terrible legacy of unexploded mines and
other weapons. Photographer Sean Sutton, who works alongside MAG
(Mines Advisory Group) has recorded the impact that this has had on
the country and its people, as well the work of those clearing the
mines. MAG has been working in Angola for more than 10 years,
clearing tens of thousands of landmines and items of unexploded
ordnance. The book is introduced by Heather Mills who is a patron
of MAG and has campaigned vigorously on the issue of landmines.
There is also a text by the renowned photojournalist Tim Page whose
photographs during the Vietnam War were published worldwide. Page
is the subject of many documentaries, two films and the author of
nine books. Lou McGrath, Director of MAG, contributes a further
text contextualising the work of landmine clearance.
