Paperback. Condition: Good. "In her insightful and practical book . Anderson offers the development community an opportunity to, at the least, do no harm.

Anderson cites the experiences of aid providers in war-torn societies around the world to show that international assistanceCeven when it is effective in saving lives, alleviating suffering, and encouraging sustainable development--too often reinforces divisions among contending groups.
