Chasing The Flame: Sergio Vieira De Mello And The Fight To Save The World By Samantha Power

Posted at 5:30PM Thursday 13 Mar 2008

Chasing the Flame is a brilliantly researched biography about an extraordinary man. He sacrificed his marriage and the chance of a quiet bureaucratic life, favoured by so many of his UN colleagues, to serve in the world's hotspots, such as Cambodia, Lebanon, Rwanda and Bosnia.
