A thought-provoking, moving account of one doctor's experience providing medical care in some of the world's poorest and most troubled regions. Dr Colbert's book of selected memoirs is an account of his involvement in natural disasters, famines, and wars in Africa and the Far East. He outlines the misery and despair of countless people caught up in such events, and the response of the West. He questions the efficacy of many aid projects and unravels the complicated historical background to the events he witnessed, bringing us on a journey from the searing summer heat of Ethiopia to deep winter in Kosovo. We visit the famine in Biafra, the genocide in Rwanda and the refugee camps in Ethiopia, Montenegro, and Burundi. This is a story that could not be made up.
