Recenzii
Gill does great justice to this ever-pertinent issue.
Excellent.
Well-written and accessible book.
A thoughtful, well-informed and detached account.
Thank God for great journalism. A book that strips away the cant and rumour a superb and vital piece of work.
No outsider understands Ethiopia better than Peter Gill. He combines compassion with a clinical commitment to the truth.
The essential book on Ethiopia, the world's crucible for hunger and poverty, and on development theory and practice.
Judicious analysis and a strong narrative. A must for all those who think there is a simple answer to the famine.
