En savoir plus sur le livre

Containing a new introduction from the author and updates to the text, this is a book of uncomon power. Here, an extraordinary humanitarian gives us a bracing and uncompromising account of her work in some of the most devastated corners of the world--and a provocative vision for changing course on our growing militarization. Samantha Nutt is one of the most intrepid voices in the humanitarian arena. Weaving gripping personal experiences with uncompromising and impassioned argument, Damned Nations dissects war and aid, where humanitarian efforts go wrong, and what can and should be done to bring about a more just world. Drawing from nearly two decades of experiences at the frontline of conflict, Nutt challenges many of the assumptions and orthodoxies surrounding the aid industry. A book that is at once moving, engaging, and insightful, Damned Nations has been acclaimed by readers and critics across North America.
