Focusing on the challenges faced by humanitarian organizations, the book highlights the disconnect between their original mission of neutrality and their current advocacy for intervention in conflicts. Through firsthand accounts from war zones, David Rieff illustrates how this shift jeopardizes their access to victims and allows major powers to influence their actions. He argues that to effectively alleviate suffering, these organizations must reclaim their independence and return to their foundational principles.
