Dr. Samantha Nutt’s Damned Nations becomes a bestseller!

Dr. Samantha Nutt’s critically-acclaimed debut book, Damned Nations: Greed, Guns, Armies and Aid, was released October 2011 and quickly made the Globe and Mail Top 10 bestsellers list. In the years since the book maintained such demand that it was re-released with a new introduction from the author and updates to the text.

This is a book of uncommon power. It’s a bracing and uncompromising account of Dr. Nutt’s work in some of the most devastated regions of the world. The book challenges many of the assumptions and orthodoxies surrounding the aid industry.

It’s also a tool for empowerment, chock full of useful suggestions on how to help out and get involved. Dr. Nutt provides links to smaller organizations that are working successfully in a number of grassroots endeavors.

The message behind this book works great as an inspiring keynote presentation, where she encourages audiences to engage with our world, and challenge assumptions that global issues have nothing to do with you.

As one of the most intrepid voices in the humanitarian arena, Samantha is one of the most in-demand speakers on human rights.
