This book examines global humanitarian efforts involving the two German states and Third World liberation movements during the Cold War.

Recenzje

'Hong shines a bright light on the selfcenteredness, cynicism, and indifference with which both Germanys sought advantage - diplomatic, but also (via cheap labor) material - from what both told themselves was a project of caring for others. Deciphering the lessons will be relevant to anyone who seeks to render global humanitarianism a more effective vehicle for challenging traditional power considerations.' Noel D. Cary, The American Historical Review
