bloomscounty 's review for:

Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder
4.0

Deft storytelling which manages to illuminate its direct subject, Dr Farmer, while simultaneously introducing the reader to the challenges of global public health disasters. It doesn't hurt that it offers you a few paths to doing something yourself along the way. If you liked it you might also try No Time To Lose by Peter Piot which illuminates some of the international institutional issues of medicine more directly.
