Even though the primary subject is Somalia and even though the subject is 20-30 years old, the book was excellent and exceedingly worth the time to read.

A stunning personal narrative of best intentions gone awry, Michael Maren, at one time an aid worker and journalist in Somalia, writes of the failure of international charities. Michael Maren spent years in Africa, first as an aid worker, later as a journalist, where he witnessed at a harrowing series of wars, famines, and natural disasters. In this book, he claims that charities, such as CARE and Save the Children, are less concerned with relief than we think. Maren also attacks the United Nation's "humanitarian" missions are controlled by agribusinesses and infighting bureaucrats. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

intended beneficiaries in order that it may survive and grow. Much of this
book is centered in Somalia, but it draws on the author's experiences with aid
organizations over nineteen years around Africa: in places such as Kenya,
burkina Faso, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sudan, and Ethiopia.
