Description du produit

War Games is a blood-boilingly good polemic that should knock a few halos off (Sunday Telegraph )

Pacy, concise, vivid…the pages of this necessary but contentious book burn with a righteous moral anger about the contradictions and tensions of delivering humanitarian aid in conflict zones (Daily Telegraph )

Marvellous... cool, brusque, fearless and disillusioned...carries echoes of the African writings of Evelyn Waugh and Graham Greene (Guardian )

Highly topical...essential reading...she relentlessly catalogues the ways in which humanitarianism has helped prolong war and suffering...if Polman's book can serve as a rallying cry to more radical, redistributive alternatives, then it will have more than fulfilled its function (The Times )

A disturbing account that raises profound questions not just about the palliative efficacy of aid – but whether it fuels and prolongs conflict (Financial Times )

Linda Polman is one of the finest reporting journalists of the modern age – she is gutsy, intellectually penetrating and far from naïve (Evening Standard )

She offers no obvious solutions but calls for more debate, and for an end to the ‘halo effect’ that gives INGOs immunity from criticism. War Games is a decisive step in that direction (Metro )
