A very fine collection of articles around the Rehabilitation mandate of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Agency, this collection help cast a new light on the largest humanitarian enterprise to follow a world war to date. * Bertrand Taithe, University of Manchester, UK * Relief and Rehabilitation for a Postwar World asks us to recognize the formative role of UNRRA in the genesis of modern international aid agencies. Using a series of case studies of UNRRA’s operations around the globe, it challenges us to rethink the shift in the nature of aid from simple relief to include rehabilitation, however ill-understood. * Lynne Taylor, Associate Professor, University of Waterloo, Canada *
