Today we drop bombs, tomorrow we build bridges : how foreign aid became a casualty of war
Gill, Peter, 1944-2016
Books, Manuscripts
Penetrating beyond its original strategy, the 'war on terror' has even extended its reach to foreign aid-politicizing aid efforts to an unprecedented level with devastating consequences. Aid workers are being killed at an alarming rate, leaving their beneficiaries unprotected in volatile countries. In this book, Peter Gill asks the crucial question: can Western nations fight in a country and aid it effectively at the same time? Overcrowded refugee camps in Pakistan; the ravaged streets of Mogadishu; a tensely militant Turkey-Syria border, Gill has travelled to some of the most war-torn areas in the world, in order to provide incredible on-the-ground reporting from the world's most troubled zones, as well as extensive, enlightening interviews with several senior NGO insiders.
