- Summary:
- These 14 articles detail the lives and work of those who served on the front lines from the 1970s in Cambodia to current conflicts, showing how humanitarian diplomats built the craft and concept of the practice and then applied it to the Middle East in Palestine, Lebanon and Iraq, to Asia in Cambodia, areas under the influence of the Taliban, East Timor, North Korea and Nepal, to Africa in the Sudan, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Somalia, and to Colombia and the Balkans.
