In War Games: The Story of Aid and War in Modern Times, Linda Polman argues that from Rwanda to Afghanistan, Sudan to Iraq, the humanitarian aid industry, the media and warmongers the world over are locked in a cycle of mutual support. Polman, one of the most intrepid and brilliantly incisive journalists of our times discusses the key players in this twisted game - from aid-workers to warlords - in a controversial exposé from the front lines of the humanitarian aid industry. Linda will speak 19.00-20.00 and then a panel of leading academics, commentators and campiagners will respond.
