- Fareed Zakaria: “This week's book of the week is David Miliband's "Rescue." This is a powerful book, part memoir, part urgent plea that we take a more urgent and compassionate look at the plight of refugees around the world. It's holiday season. So read this book and please let it move you to some action.”
