Download or read book The Crisis Caravan written by Linda Polman and published by Metropolitan Books. This book was released on 2010-09-14 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A no-holds-barred, controversial exposé of the financial profiteering and ambiguous ethics that pervade the world of humanitarian aid A vast industry has grown up around humanitarian aid: a cavalcade of organizations—some 37,000—compete for a share of the $160 billion annual prize, with "fact-inflation" sometimes ramping up disaster coverage to draw in more funds. Insurgents and warring governments, meanwhile, have made aid a permanent feature of military strategy: refugee camps serve as base camps for genocidaires, and aid supplies are diverted to feed the troops. Even as humanitarian groups continue to assert the holy principle of impartiality, they have increasingly become participants in aid's abuses. In a narrative that is impassioned, gripping, and even darkly absurd, journalist Linda Polman takes us to war zones around the globe—from the NGO-dense operations in "Afghaniscam" to the floating clinics of Texas Mercy Ships proselytizing off the shores of West Africa—to show the often compromised results of aid workers' best intentions. It is time, Polman argues, to impose ethical boundaries, to question whether doing something is always better than doing nothing, and to hold humanitarians responsible for the consequences of their deeds.
Download or read book We Three Thieves written by J. S. Khan and published by J.New Books. This book was released on 2019-12-20 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We Three Thieves is a dark morality tale which re-envisions the coming of the Magi from the Gospel of Matthew--as these particular "wise men" come with plans to kidnap the Christ-child to further their own unique ambitions rather than simply adore him. The novel is written in first person as one of the Magi's confessions, and seeks to merge historical facts with lyrical imagery from the Bible and other sacred texts from the Middle East, demonstrating how Christianity evolved not only out of Judaism and Greek philosophical discourse, but also out of ancient Persian (Iranian) and Babylonian (Iraqi) apocalyptic religions. Kaosha belongs to the hereditary caste of astrologer-priests in Persia, a young man loyal to his religion but plagued with existential dread ever since his father's death. When an ominous conjunction of Jupiter and Venus ignites the sky, his former teacher Vasna interprets this heavenly union as signifying the birth of the Zoroastrian Saoshyant, or World Savior, and assembles a caravan to search for the child in Yisrael and bring it back to Persia. The third figure to join the caravan is Bardiya, a worldly priest who uses his connections among the nobility to secure a place on the expedition. But the quest is a dangerous one, and encountering trial after trial--from the deadly perils of the Syrian Desert to the conspiracies at Herod's court--the three Magi will ultimately have to come to terms with the biggest threat of all: themselves. For each will interpret the godling's birth in separate ways, as well as seek their own vision of this epoch-shattering event no matter the cost.
