Hard Choices

Moral Dilemmas in Humanitarian Intervention

Jonathan Moore

This is a towering book that should be a obligatory read for every disaster manager. With contributions from academics such as Mary Anderson (Rising from the Ashes), politicians such as Kofi Annan and the 'real thing' such as General Romeo Dallaire (Head of UN Peacekeepers during Rwandan genocide), this uncompromising and insightful book from the Red Cross is a headlong tackle into the darkest moral quagmires of humanitarian intervention. Events such as Darfur make this pre-Kosovo book even more relevant than ever. Unique and superb in every way.
