Chapter 1. From Melbourne and Back Again -- Chapter 2. Welcome to the UN Family -- Chapter 3. Learning by Doing: Bangladesh -- Chapter 4. A Success? Sri Lanka -- Chapter 5. From East to West: Kenya -- Chapter 6. Even Further West: Ghana -- Chapter 7. The Population Challenge: China -- Chapter 8. Surviving in the People's Paradise: DPRK -- Chapter 9. You Must be Mad: UN Headquarters -- Chapter 10. No More Business as Usual: Viet Nam -- Chapter 11. Life After Death: Rwanda.

This book is more than an autobiographical account of the career of a young graduate from Australia who spent his life working as a United Nations official. It is in fact, a critical, indispensable debriefing of a UN insider's account as it follows the life of a development practitioner for more than three decades within the global aid sector. It also goes where few others have dared to go before, providing first-hand insights into the realities of a UN career official's life. While many throughout the world may wish to join the "UN family" or have already become part of the development sector, it is presumed they all have a vision to act as vehicles for positive social change. However, expectations can and may differ once realities have sunk in. The book opens a unique space in the international aid sector - particularly, population security - around elements of personal and professional rewards and costs.
