Summary: "The narrative sweeps one along . Written like a day-to-day journal, WHERE SOLDIERS FEAR TO TREAD offers many thumbnail sketches of natives and relief workers."--Providence Journal "He understands the mix of altruism, adrenaline, financial reward and companionship that drives many aid workers . . . He sees the way that the various aid agencies (even competing UN agencies) work against each other to gain credit and press exposure. And he learns, through bitter experience, how savage people can be when they are desperate" --London Sunday Times.  "A journey into a heartless darkness. . .(An) affecting, timely and engaging memoir of life at the blunt edge of aid."--Evening Standard, London.  "Burnett's message is simple and it is not new: being an aid worker in the field is dangerous. What makes it different is the clarity and passion with which he delivers it. . . He writes well and convincingly . . . with a minimum of jargon and eye for detail." --The Sunday Telegraph, London. From the Hardcover edition.
