Description
A Doctor's Sword: The Astonishing Story of Aidan MacCarthy's Wartime Adventures In August 1945, Dr Aidan MacCarthy witnessed the atomic bomb explosion above Nagasaki, just one mile from his makeshift shelter in the Mitsubishi POW camp. The blast was followed by an eerie silence, a stark contrast to the intense chaos that had preceded it. MacCarthy's wartime experiences were marked by survival, forgiveness and humanity at its most admirable. From the evacuation at Dunkirk to his time as a Japanese prisoner of war, he endured unimaginable privation and hardship. Yet, even in the midst of such adversity, MacCarthy found moments of kindness and generosity that would stay with him forever. This is the remarkable true story of Dr Aidan MacCarthy's journey, one that will leave you moved by its power and humanity.
