Sir Nick Young's memoir is a fascinating and candid account of his
thirteen years as chief executive of the British Red Cross
(2001-2014). During this critical period he led the organisation's
response to the financial crisis, the Iraq War, the Asian Tsunami,
the London bombings, a kidnapping, the fighting in Syria, media
challenges, and numerous earthquakes, floods and other disasters.
The author shares the strains and moments of fulfilment, relief and
humour, as he played a key role in the response to some of the 21st
Century's most dramatic and dangerous events. His book paints a
vivid yet modest picture of what is involved running one of the
world's best-known disaster response organisations, reacting to
catastrophes, both man-made and natural, and saving the lives and
livelihoods of those caught up in global disasters, conflicts and
health emergences. It is rare for charity leaders to reveal their
insights in this way and, at the same time, paint such a vivid
picture of life at the top of a large voluntary organisation. The
result is a compelling read, particularly for those interested in
international affairs, the way charities work, and what makes them
different from other types of world class organisations.
