| Description: |
One of the bravest and most dashing figures on the world scene, Egeland has spent his whole life in the world's most violent countries, delivering humanitarian aid. This is a passionate account, filled with outrage, hair-raising brushes with danger, and the confidence that it is within our power to help the word's most unfortunate. |
| Synopsis: |
This is a highly personal book by a genuine hero, a man who has returned into the most desperate and violent places in the world, who has continually risked his life to negotiate relief efforts and cease fires. Jan Egeland deals with the best and the worst of humanity on journeys to the world's hellholes. He describes in scary detail his meetings with guerrilla leaders, war lords, heads of states and besieged aid workers in Darfur, Eastern Congo, Northern Uganda, Zimbabwe, Colombia, Lebanon, Gaza and Northern Israel. |
