| Publisher Description: Paul Farmer, doctor and aid worker, offers an inspiring insider's view of the relief effort. -- Financial Times The book's greatest strength lies in its depiction of the post-quake chaos In the book's more analytical sections the author's diagnosis of the difficulties of reconstruction is sharp. -- Economist A gripping, profoundly moving book, an urgent dispatch from the front by one of our finest warriors for social justice. -- Adam Hochschild His honest assessment of what the people trying to help Haiti did well -- and where they failed -- is important for anyone who cares about the country or international aid in general. -- Miami Herald |
