By Richard Heinzl
This memoir, written by the founder of the Canadian branch of Doctors Without Borders (DWB), takes the reader from Africa, to Canada, the Caribbean and Cambodia, all while showing the making of a man and of a humanitarian aid organization.
The novel starts with Heinzl, young and daring, when he goes to Africa in an elective from college. This trip, the people he meets, and the decisions he makes around this time in his life, lead him to begin working towards founding a branch of DWB.
The most important assignment towards achieving this is to go spend at least a year in Cambodia in 1991.
The book is well written and entertaining, and reading it is akin to living Heinzls adventures yourself.
