Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A vast industry has grown up around humanitarian aid: a cavalcade of organizations--some 37,000--compete for a share of the $160 billion annual prize. Polman argues that it is time to impose ethical boundaries, to question whether doing something is always better than doing nothing, and to hold humanitarians responsible for the consequences of their deeds.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In her controversial, no-holds-barred exposé Linda Polman shows how a vast industry has grown up around humanitarian aid. <i>The Crisis Caravan</i> takes us to war zones around the globe, showing how aid operations and the humanitarian world have become a feature of military strategy. Impassioned, gripping, and even darkly absurd, journalist Linda Polman "gives some powerful examples of unconscionable assistance...a world where aid workers have become enablers of the atrocities they seek to relieve" (<i>The Boston Globe</i>).</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Particularly timely just now... Polman finds moral hazard on display wherever aid workers are deployed. In case after case, a persuasive argument can be made that, over-all, humanitarian aid did as much or even more harm than good... Her style is brusque, hard-boiled, with a satirist's taste for gallows humor. Her basic stance is: <i>J'accuse</i>." --<i>Philip Gourevitch, The New Yorker</i></p><p>"A reporting tour de force, devastating." --<i>The Sunday Times (London)</i></p><p>"Marvelous, cool, brusque, fearless." --<i>The Guardian (London)</i></p><p>"Ms. Polman's prose is scorching." --<i>The Economist</i></p><p>"A disturbing account...Raises profound questions not just about the palliative efficacy of aid, but whether it fuels and prolongs conflict." --<i>Financial Times</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Linda Polman</b> is an Amsterdam-based journalist who for fifteen years has reported from war zones for a range of European radio stations and newspapers. She is the author of <i>We Did Nothing</i>, which was shortlisted for the Lettre Ulysses Award for the Art of Reportage.</p>
