This blog entry isn’t about my sex life (or lack of). It’s a book review and no, it’s not a porn. I have just finished reading Emergency Sex by Cain, Postlewait and Thomson. It’s the biography/recount of 3 twenty something’s who sign up to work in war torn areas with the UN. The intertwined diary like entries give a historical yet personal account of working in a war zone mixed with all the much needed drama that makes you eager to turn the next page. Follow the pages and their stories through Cambodia, Haiti, Somalia, Kenya and Bosnia. The book is an insight into the role (or lack of) of the US and the UN in world peacekeeping. It’s also an insight into the hierarchy of lives during war. It made me laugh and cry, so I give it four stars!
