520			_a"Relief Chief is Mark Lowcock's behind-the-scenes account of his experience as the world's most senior humanitarian official - the UN Relief Chief. In his four years on the job, Lowcock coordinated the work of UN agencies, the Red Cross, and countless national and international humanitarian groups to save lives and protect the most vulnerable. His tenure spanned the biggest explosion in humanitarian need in modern history. Part memoir and part manifesto for reform, Relief Chief depicts the brutality, misery and inhumanity inflicted on innocent people in crises. Lowcock recounts what people he met in dozens of countries, especially women and children, shared with him about their plight. He warns that crises will continue to get worse without a renewed global effort to tackle their causes. But Relief Chief is also an uplifting story of lives saved and suffering reduced, and a powerful agenda for solving crises faster and better in the future"-- _cTaken from dust jacket.
