Media Reviews

A valuable and essential book to read for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners who work in the field of complex human emergencies. Ethnic Conflict Research Digest Maynard's study takes a critical look at international relief efforts in communities ruptured by violent internal conflict-what relief workers call 'complex emergencies.' Journal of Social Work Education Maynard, perhaps uniquely qualified by virtue of more than 20 years'experience working on the ground in areas such as Rwanda, Tajikstan, Somalia, Zaire, and others, offers a comprehensive, multidimensional look at the context and scope of these types of conflicts. -- J. L. Twigg Choice
