Contents/Summary
- Summary
- The deployment of several dozen delegates and doctors from Switzerland, Germany and France into the civil war which raged in Yemen in the 1960s turned out to be the most dramatic and effective action mounted by the International Committee of the Red Cross at a time when it was still the only player on the scene, and when NGOs were as yet unknown. The story is told by those who risked their lives conducting the operation, starting with the mission leader, André Rochat. The narrative takes us behind the scenes of humanitarian power in the desert to the roots of the struggle and the people's dignity.
