The Road To Hell

This book is about aid and charity _ aid and charity as an industry, as religion, as a self_serving system that sacrifices its own practitioners and intended beneficiaries in order that it may survive and grow.

Much of this book is centred in Somalia, but it draws on my experiences with aid organisations over nineteen years around Africa: in places such as Kenya, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sudan and Ethiopia. Like most people in the United States and Western Europe, I've heard the pleas of aid organisations and boasts of their accomplishments in the Third World, but the Africa I know today is in much worse shape than it was when I first arrived.
