520    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.
