Strangers Drowning by Roderick MacFarquhar

A portrait-driven collection of long-form profiles that explores individuals whose compulsion to help others leads them to make extreme, sometimes self-destructive sacrifices; through stories of caregivers, volunteers and philanthropists, it probes the moral psychology, motives and consequences of radical altruism and raises difficult questions about duty, effectiveness and the limits of compassion.
