In his 25-year journey through hot spots across
the globe, Rod Reeve has become one of Australia’s most
experienced foreign-aid workers. Managing international aid projects
has taken him from the opium fields of the Hindu Kush, to Iraq
in the time of Saddam Hussein, the jungles of Papua New Guinea,
and Aceh following the 2004 tsunami.
In Hot-Spotting he reveals the dramas
and complexities of working in the provision of international
aid, and takes us behind disturbing news footage to connect with
ordinary people living in some of the world’s most troubled
locations.
