"Off to Save the World": Book about former InterAction CEO
Off To Save The World: How Julia Taft Made A Difference, by Ann Blackman, is the story of one of the top U.S. humanitarian relief experts who, over three decades, became a legend in her field. Julia Vadala Taft held positions in USAID, the State Department and the UN, and served as CEO of InterAction twice, from 1992-1997 and again in 2006. The book paints a mosaic of a witty, determined, hard-charging and idealistic woman who left her mark on the development community.
At Julia Taft's request, this book is dedicated not only to her children, but also to her friends in the field, who continue the unsung work that captured her heart.
