Mike Dunne, the tough, black-bearded Scot to whom I owe so much, including my sanity—may you be safe wherever you are. And Russ Ulrey, a humanitarian.
George Corse, of Kilifi, Kenya, whose intellectual influence and fondness for Kipling was almost preparation enough, Arabella Stein and Andy McKillop in London and Nita Taublib in New York who recognized an interesting story, agent Jane Dystel, always there, and Miriam Goderich for her keen eye throughout.
John Flicker, an old soldier and fine editor, Kenny Gluck of Médecins sans Frontières, James Morris, Trevor Rowe, Francis Mwanza, Mick Lorentzen, Said Jannoun, Charles Forbes, Daniela Owen, Jane Pearce—all of WFP, Shawn Owen of Unicef, Ahmad Fawzi, Joe Suits, Jessica Taublib-Kiriat, Matthew Martin.
Steve and Penny York for their tireless hospitality, Marcel and Dounia Zandstra as always, and Sam Coleman.
Richard Roth of CNN, whose concern for the safety of humanitarian workers is well appreciated, and David Shipley and Toby Harshaw of the New York Times Op-Ed page, who likewise felt it was an issue that should be addressed and encouraged me to do so.
And to Jacqueline, without whose patient support this book could have never been written.
