Description
A remarkable memoir by an NHS surgeon who has spent over 25 years volunteering in some of the world's most dangerous war zones. From operating under siege in Sarajevo to carrying out life-saving operations in rebel-held Aleppo, David Nott has risked his life to help others in the most extreme circumstances.
His experiences form a chronology of 21st-century combat, taking him to conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, and Syria, as well as areas affected by natural disasters such as Haiti and Nepal. With a deep desire to help others and a passion for extreme personal danger, Nott has become widely acknowledged as the most experienced trauma surgeon in the world.
This is his extraordinary story, one that offers a brutally vivid evocation of modern warfare and a powerful exploration of the human cost of conflict. Written in a clear and concise style, War Doctor is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the experiences of medical professionals in war zones.
