War Hospital: A True Story of Surgery and Survival

Rating:
Summary: Great journalism
Review: War Hospital follows the lives of a group of doctors and aid workers in the embattled town of Srebrenica during the Bosnian War from '92 to '95. The moving personal account of the protagonists is framed by the political machinations that were part of the Balkan tragedy, giving an emotional context to the horrors of the war and the genocide it spawned. The book is balanced, objective, thoroughly researched and very well written. It is an important read for those interested in the ethics of medicine in wartime, not only as it relates to the Balkans but also Iraq, Afganistan and other regions of conflict.
