Customer Reviews
Shockingly truthful, Insightful....A must for every citizen. LOVED IT !!
A deeply disturbing insight into how the West is failing Africa and what we can do about it - by an aid industry insider.
The Author has been closely involved in Africa and its development for more than ten years as civil servant, diplomat and aid worker.
Well researched, clearly and enjoyably written.
I'm inspired and moved by the revelations as should every citizen who's taxes are wastefully and negligently spent on a supposed worthy cause.
