Above the Fray
From Lake Chad to Iraq, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) provide relief around the globe, and their scope is growing every year. Policy makers and activists often assume that humanitarian aid is best provided by these organizations, which are generally seen as impartial and neutral. In Above the Fray, Shai M.

It was a time perfectly suited for the rise of the ARC. Irwin shows how the early and vigorous support of William H....
