First published 2005. Includes bibliographical references.
In 1998, on the lookout for adventure, John Burnett left the comforts of Western life to become a UN relief worker in Somalia. He was completely unprepared for the realities of working in a country without government or law, where the only authority comes from a loaded gun. Held at gunpoint by a child soldier, having to watching a baby die of malaria in his arms, the experience profoundly changed the way he saw the world. [Book jacket].
