Gareth Owen has been an aid worker since 1993 and the Humanitarian Director at Save the Children UK since 2007. He has led responses to numerous conflicts and disasters, co-founded the START Network and is Chair of the Humanitarian Leadership Academy.
"Breaks through the hidden silences that still surround discussion
concerning interventions in theatres of war. Gareth Owen writes
with a honesty, sensitivity and critical self-reflection, which is
often missing in books of this kind. In doing so, he brings a new
kind of tragic and yet learned music that puts the human back into
the humanitarian."
"Owen has rendered the intrinsic dilemmas, moral ambiguities and
political hazards of humanitarianism in a powerful and poignant
personal memoir of his time in Somalia."
