The Trouble With Aid

Using the examples of seven humanitarian disasters from recent history, from Biafra to Afghanistan, Pollack gives a critical impression of a sector frequently forced to admit – to its own dismay – that idealism is not always equal to opportunism, that suppliers of aid are often confronted by complex moral dilemmas and that, sometimes, aid organizations even contribute to the conflict in question.
