Book review: today we drop bombs, tomorrow we build bridges: how foreign aid became a casualty of war by Peter Gill

In Today We Drop Bombs, Tomorrow We Build Bridges: How Foreign Aid Became a Casualty of War, Peter Gill examines the increasing politicisation of the provision of foreign aid and the devastating consequences for civilians in war-torn countries and aid workers themselves. Gill’s examination of the nefarious intent that can lurk behind humanitarian interventions is an evocative, exacting and indispensable inquiry into the costs of the ‘organized ethical confusion’ surrounding foreign aid, writes Joanna Rozpedowski.
