Summary: The book seeks to explain why foreign aid given in time of disaster is often as great as the factor which prompted the aid. The book is divided into three sections - a discussion of international aid in time of man-made and natural disasters, a description of overseas aid in non-disaster situation and a case study of a self-help co-operatives program that the author planned and directed for several years in Bamenda Province of the then British Cameroons. The author argues that developing countries should be allowed to plan and direct their development programs, that there should be stress on self-help and co-operative effort in development plans, and that mechanization should be avoided wherever possible in those countries that have a surplus of labourers.
