'The essential text on the largest, and most overlooked, famine of the 21st century.' -- Alex de Waal, Research Professor and Executive Director of the World Peace Foundation, Tufts University; 'Maxwell and Majid have penned haunting reflections on the long and lonely days of 2010 and 2011. The authors' dangerous journey and their penetrating analysis has unearthed compelling evidence of, indeed, a collective failure. They bravely cast light on competing policy imperatives in Somalia at that time, which in fact acted to undermine humanitarian action.' -- Abdullahi Khalif, food security expert and former (2010-2015) Somalia Country Representative for Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET); 'Dan Maxwell and Nisar Majid are important commentators on Somalia. Their book is essential reading for those wishing to understand the root causes of an apparently intractable crisis and its more acute manifestations. Famine in Somalia is a must read for anyone wanting to understand contemporary Somalia and other similarly complex contexts which challenge us all.' -- Dr Sara Pantuliano, Head of the Humanitarian Policy Group, Overseas Development Institute (ODI)
