Hi. First time poster here. Interesting reading on the thread.

One book that I think adds some well-written views to it is Linda Polman´s War Games - the story of aid and war in modern times (2010).

Polman is a journalist, and she has written several books on the less talked about sides of aid-work (...The Crisis Caravan...We did nothing: why the truth doesn´t always come out when the UN goes in...etc.). War Games has some pure rage in it, and it goes through how aid can help wars continue, help destabilize regions, and how victims often can play the aid-workers. Very good read.
