Plain title but aptly named. It takes a different kind of man to revel in doctor-ing in war-torn countries and Nott brings across his motivation clearly. He was close to death so many times, and yet he kept returning. This book also helped me to understand the devastation in Syria following the recent earthquake. If the situation was already so dire then, it must be even worse now.

This book provides an amazing insight in to the horrors of wars that have inflicted our planet, especially in more recent times. What David Nott has achieved, and the number of surgeons and ancillary personnel he has been able to teach and mentor, both while a volunteer in the war zones, but also in his UK homeland, and through his David Nott Foundation, makes for wonderful reading. I have great admiration for this surgeon, and sorrow at the vulnerabilities he has himself suffered because of his drive to do the best he can for suffering humanity. An that is to say nothing of the professional career he has created as a general and vascular surgeon in London hospitals, providing the bread and butter to enable him to go on so many unpaid missions when called upon.

I received this book in a goodreads giveaway. I found this book to be a fascinating read!! I could not put it down. I enjoy reading books like this for the learning experience. I get much more of an idea what is going on in some of the world's hot spots from reading first hand accounts like this one than I do from a 30 second report from a journalist on the evening news. Books like this one give the reader a look at the human experience in the midst of war or natural disaster. I have always been intrigued by the work of Doctors without Borders. I so respect the work they do in the world. This book put a human face on many of the courageous medical professionals who volunteer their services. Highly recommend.… (meer)
