Refugee World
By Robert Kee
Refugee World is a classic book on a current issue, by a highly respected journalist and author.
When Robert Kee wrote Refugee World in 1961, prosperous nations seemed determined to ignore the plight of refugees. Then, as now, despite the expenditure of much money and many words, there was no coherent solution to the crisis or even agreement on how it should be tackled.
In this, the book that brought a crisis out of the shadows, Kee illuminates a recurrent problem and analyses (not always generously) the official responses to it.
An intelligent and thought-provoking book by a highly respected writer, Refugee World contains much for modern readers with an interest in politics and international affairs.
