Praise for "Where Soldiers Fear to Tread": 'Speaks well to the complicated web of motivations involved with relief work in high-risk zones. Be it altruism or ego, a desire for adventure or isolation, the compulsion for relief workers to leave lives of relative comfort for dangerous war zone makes for a compelling take on human motivation - "Financial Times". 'Engrossing...[Burnett] understands the mix of altruism, adrenalin, financial reward and companionship that drives many aid workers. He sees the way that the various aid agencies (even competing UN agencies) work against each other to gain credit and press exposure. And he learns, through bitter experience, how savage people can be when they are desperate' - "Sunday Times Haunting" '...Burnetts message is simple, and it is not new: being an aid worker in the field is dangerous...Different is the clarity and passion with which he delivers it Caroline Moorehead' - "Sunday Telegraph".
