An Accidental Humanitarian

Memoir of an Aid Worker in the Yugoslav Wars

De: Roger John Fowler

Narrado por: Roger John Fowler

Hearing that the British Red Cross were recruiting truck drivers to deliver relief supplies in the active conflict zones of the former Yugoslavia, Roger thought the work sounded interesting. What he experienced during his mission with the International Committee of the Red Cross proved to be much more. Living the realities of humanitarian relief work and witnessing the tragedies of what war could do and did to its civilian victims, was life-changing.

Roger Fowler’s rich memoir chronicles the wins and losses, joys and heartbreak of providing humanitarian relief to suffering civilians and displaced persons. With tenacity, determination, and humour, Roger takes the reader with him through his adventures from escorting convoys across front lines to being in the middle of the largest and final battle of the Croatian War of Independence–Operation Storm.

Humble and admirable

What a fantastic story. I myself was a Red Cross delegate and there are not many books out there that capture the feeling and camaraderie. Genuinely enjoyed this read.
