This memoir follows David Nott, a British surgeon, through his work in warzones. It is a heart-wrenching but realistic account of the nature of his work. It also speaks volumes about out the bureaucratic issues of our international governances as well as development aid. I particularly valued the afterword, written by his wife Elly, which comments on her experience as a close supporter and advocate for David's work.
