  Published
2011
  
  For readers of Christopher Hedges, Robert Fisk, and Christopher Hitchens, an extraordinary
humanitarian gives us a bracing and uncompromising account of her work in some of the most devastated corners of the
world -- and a new and provocative vision for changing course on our growing militarization.
  
  In 1995,
twenty-five-year-old Samantha Nutt, a recent medical-school graduate and a field volunteer for UNICEF, touched down in
Baidoa, Somalia, "the City of Death." What she saw there -- gangs of young men roaming the streets armed with rocket
launchers; a woman in a clinic line holding a dead baby; an aid agency working in such an unsafe environment that its
workers had to travel with armed escorts high on drugs -- would spur her on to a lifetime of passionate advocacy for
children and families in war-torn areas around the world. Damned Nations is the brilliant distillation of Dr. Nutt's
observations over the course of fifteen years providing hands-on care in some of the world's most violent flashpoints,
all the while building the world class non-profit War Child North America. Combining original research with her personal
story, it is a deeply thoughtful meditation on war as it is being waged around the world against millions of civilians
-- primarily women and children. Nutt's boundless energy, dedication, and compassion shine through on every page as she
lays out real, lasting solutions to these problems and shows how to move beyond outdated notions of charity towards a
more progressive, inclusive, and respectful world view.
  
  From the Hardcover edition.
  
 
Review
  
  “Samantha Nutt is scrupulously consistent with her hard-nosed, direct, in-your-face style
and defiant resolve in her approach to war and the massive abuses to humanity, especially women and children. Samantha
is telling us in no uncertain terms that humanitarianism starts by a 'critical reflection concerning our own actions and
deeds.' And then she offers some solid proposals to consider. Well done, in a most compelling of ways." 
 
—LGen the Hon. Roméo A. Dallaire, (Ret’d), Senator
  
  "This is an extraordinarily riveting
book. The anecdotes are heart-wrenching; the analysis is trenchant, principled, uncompromising. I never read a book in
one sitting: I read Damned Nations in one sitting, and I regretted that it came to an end. It's not an easy read, but
it's filled with emotional and intellectual power." 
  —Stephen Lewis, former Canadian Ambassador to the
United Nations, and Chair of the Board of the Stephen Lewis Foundation
   
  “This book is a passionate
reaction to so much of the stupidity and calumny that leads to death and destruction, and yet, it incorporates
insightful and cool headed reasons as to why. An important book for our times.” 
  —Lloyd Axworthy,
President, University of Winnipeg and former Minister of Foreign Affairs
  
   “A brave, eloquent, and
necessary book.” 
  –Lewis Lapham, editor of Lapham’s Quarterly
  
  “When I
first met Sam, I was moved by her total and single minded dedication to justice. She thought of people in far away
places the way we think of relatives in disadvantage, and she behaved like we do at our best when we care enough to do
something. I have no doubt you will be moved by her stories and her work, but I hope most of all, by her
example.”
  —K’Naan
  
  "This is an extraordinary book. From its opening scenes, my
heart was in my throat. Samantha Nutt is a genuine hero for all of us who want to make a difference in the world. She
has helped those who, through no fault of their own, find themselves trapped in terrifying conditions of terror,
injustice, oppression and extreme poverty. All of us living in the comfort and affluence of industrialized countries owe
it to the rest of humanity to read this powerful book."
  —David Suzuki, co-founder, The David Suzuki
Foundation, and Professor Emeritus, University of British Columbia
  
  “Samantha Nutt drives us to the
front lines of an ongoing conflict between empathy and barbarism. Her words, and the lessons she asks us to heed, come
from what she herself has witnessed. The passion that Dr. Nutt has for the important work she does is reflected in the
pages of this remarkable book.” 
  —Seamus O’Regan, co-host, Canada AM
  
  "Dr. Nutt
movingly outlines the chilling truth about war and offers us a rare, poignant glimpse into each individual's part in the
process to attainable peace. An absolute must-read for every person in the developed world, and a manual for every
leader." 
  —Chantal Kreviazuk, Juno Award-winning performer and songwriter, and Honorary Founder, War Child

  
  “Dr. Samantha Nutt is a force of nature. A courageous and tireless advocate for human rights.
Damned Nations exposes the 'underbelly' of the humanitarian movement. Her colorful, revealing and heart-wrenching
first-hand accounts are a must read for anyone who’s given so much as a penny to an NGO.” 
 
—Raine Maida, lead singer, Our Lady Peace, songwriter, and activist 
  
  Review
  
  "Angry,
impassioned essays are not the general currency of Canadian non-fiction, so it's refreshing that physician Samantha Nutt
breaks the mould with her forthright attack on militarism and misguided aid efforts that exacerbate the poverty and
conflict they are meant to solve. . . . Damned Nations is an important read." -- Quill and Quire
