It Shouldn't Happen to an Aid Worker

Rate this book
A riveting, no-holds-barred exploration of the dark side of some of the coping mechanisms employed by operational aid workers serving in some of the world's flashpoints in order to deal with the multiple stresses to which they are subjected on a daily basis.

"IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN TO AN AID WORKER" is a compressed, hard-hitting book that delivers a powerful, distilled punch, and a worthy sequel to the author's psychedelic first work. Not for the faint-hearted: strictly over 21 only. Contains sexually explicit language.

A book that tells the frank story of aid worker life in war zones. It's a brutal book, and doesn't pull punches. A must read!

Total sex! Not everyone's cup of tea. But it's well written, unpretentious and honest. And it explores a question most people know nothing about.

I read this book to try something new, someone put this book on a shelf in a group that I am in with that being said this book was not for me. This book had me confused at times and I want to not finish it but it was a short read and thank god for that.

Hey Jovan, are you interested in swapping follows? You’ll follow me, and I’ll follow you? It will help to build your presence and expertise as an author. I write not for making money, it is a non-profit activity to help immigrants. Thank you for considering my request. Also, can do a review exchange.
I'll remove this review once you reply.
Warm wishes from Toronto
