Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Working with Conflict
Simon Fisher · 2000
72/100
👍 Worth It
A dense, field-tested practitioner sourcebook grounded in real peacebuilding work from Cambodia to Colombia, with a four-part structure that gives NGO workers and mediators genuine tools. General readers will find the academic tone a barrier, but professionals in development or conflict work get real value here. Mislabeled as Finance in the catalog — this is serious peacebuilding literature.
