Humanitarians In Hostile Territory : Expeditionary Diplomacyand Aid Outside The Green Zone
Paperback Edition: 1
More than ever, humanitarian aid workers and diplomats are engaging with vulnerable populations in areas once considered too dangerous to touch. Drawing on decades of on-the-ground experience in conflict environments around the world, Van Arsdale and Smith offer this important and revealing guide to the
