Aida Alvinius, Associate Professor, Department of Security, Strategy, and Leadership, Swedish Defence University (SEDU) 'Today it is enough to open the closest newspaper, turn on the TV, or go online to understand how, unfortunately, timely and important this book is. Frontline Crisis Response is an exceptional collection of insights into frontline crisis response and a must-read for anyone who wants to understand its dynamics. What makes this book stand out is that it provides a rare reflection on dilemmas faced by 'boots on the ground' as well as those higher up in the organization. This is important as a crisis rarely include simple solutions.' Markus Hällgren, Professor in Management and Head of Research, Umeå School of Business, Economics and Statistics, Umeå University, Sweden 'Enlightening and highly topical, Frontline Crisis Response is a welcome and relevant contribution to the emerging body of scholarship about crisis management and response.  It will appeal to postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers interested in fields including Crisis Management, Disaster Studies and Humanitarian Research. Since Jori P. Kalkman addresses the multiple, complex dilemmas faced by emergency responders, soldiers, and humanitarians during crisis response operations, this book will also be very useful for practitioners and policymakers.'
