Summary |
Having seen things we hope never to see, confronted suffering and dispassion and evil we hope never to encounter, and faced deep personal torment, James Orbinski still believes in "the good we can be if we so choose." His chosen medium for revealing this is stories from his own experience-a doctor's indelible testimony from the front lines in Peru, Somalia, Afghanistan, Rwanda, Zaire-embodied in which are warnings, hope, and lessons in how we can inject humanitarian activity into our lives. |
