'The idea of contrasting French and British approaches to humanitarian action and simultaneously questioning the adequacy of a simple dichotomy between the two is worthwhile. Key issues - about the nature of humanitarianism, the relationships between humanitarianism and development, the questions of independence and neutrality - are discussed in novel ways and the differing assumptions of the authors force readers to think about their own positions.' * Professor Michael Newman, author, Humanitarian Intervention: Confronting the Contradictions *
