David Nott is passionate, caring and determined. For over 20 years he has taken 2 months unpaid leave each year from his work as a consultant surgeon in London to spend time working in war zones in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. He has operated on casualties of war, mostly civilians including many children, often learning as he went and then passing on knowledge to local doctors. He wants to help and loves the thrill of risk taking.
In recent years he and his wife have set up the David Nott Foundation, a charity which offers training in trauma surgery to doctors worldwide. Some come to London but others do it remotely and can make use of videos and other materials as needed.
David is real, not some alabaster saint! He is searingly honest about his mistakes and his failures, his emotions and reactions and takes the reader on the roller coaster he often experiences. Not a book for the squeamish but an eye opener on life behind the front lines of modern wars and the suffering of millions of innocent people.
