3.0

 


I read for entertainment and this selection from my local book club has zero entertainment value but it is a tragic account of the long defeat of the humanitarian efforts of James Farmer in his herculean efforts to aid such efforts as the treatment of Multiple Drug Resistant TB in Haiti, Peru and Russia; however apparently successful in Cuba. Our contemporary society enjoys exorbitantly expensive entertainments in sports and music but there are no funds to treat the impoverished and indigent needs in so many underprivileged nations and there seems to be no solution.

His childhood was not that one of a dysfunctional family but certainly a quirky one but he achieved an impressive medical and caring adult career.
