A Bed for the Night: Humanitarianism in Crisis by David Rieff

Did not finish book.

This book has some interesting ideas on recent programs to address humanitarian crises, and the negative & positive aspects of these programs. However, the ideas aren't interesting enough to compel me to continue reading this book, which is full of jargon and poorly-written prose. I guess if I couldn't get through it in grad school, when it was required reading, there's no way I'd get through it now, when it's just recreational. If you're really into these issues, this might be a good enough read.
