Green Parrots: A War Surgeon's Diary

Green Parrots: A War Surgeon's Diary

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Designed to look like toys, green parrots are small, winged cylinders roughly four inches long that flutter over lands devastated by war, but are, in fact, antipersonnel mines. This book introduces us to the endless destruction that the green parrots have spread throughout the world, and in so doing raises an urgent question: Is it legitimate to accept war as an inevitable prospect for current and future generations? After appearing in numerous languages since its initial publication in 1999, this English edition is particularly timely. The appendix of Green Parrots contains the complete text of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, approved on December 10, 1948 by the General Assembly of the United Nations, which begins by proclaiming: "All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights." No matter who triggers a war, the end result will be a catastrophe for civilians who bear no responsibility for it. --Dr. Gino Strada Essay by Gino Strada.
