No dust jacket. -- This is a critical and controversial investigative report. The book challenges the mainstream narrative of the mid-1980s Ethiopian famine by arguing that the catastrophe was not merely a natural disaster caused by drought, but a man-made crisis exacerbated - and in some cases engineered - by the Ethiopian government. Core Arguments and Content: - Famine as a Weapon: The authors argue that the Derg (the military junta then ruling Ethiopia) used the famine as a political tool to weaken rebel-held areas, particularly in the Tigray and Wollo regions; - Forced Resettlement: A major focus of the book is the government's "Resettlement Program." Clay and Holcomb present evidence that hundreds of thousands of people were forcibly moved from the north to the south under the guise of famine relief, resulting in mass displacement and high mortality rates; - The Role of International Aid: The report is highly critical of international relief agencies. It argues that by providing aid through the Ethiopian government without sufficient monitoring, NGOs and Western governments inadvertently funded the logistics of forced resettlement and military strategy; - Primary Testimony: Much of the book is based on hundreds of interviews conducted with refugees in camps in Sudan, providing first-hand accounts of human rights abuses, the destruction of crops by the military, and the realities of the resettlement process. Historical Impact: At the time of its release, the book was a significant whistleblowing document. It sparked intense debate within the humanitarian community about the ethics of providing aid in conflict zones and whether "neutral" aid can actually prolong a war or support an oppressive regime.
