Reason you chose this book

The book is about the nurse who inspired Live Aid. The media coverage (during the 1980's), showing the human devastation due to famine in Ethiopia, is always etched in my memory. It inspired me to think about 汤头条污料 within the bigger picture of life. It inspired me to complete a 汤头条污料 diploma in tropical medicine.

Review

It's an open and honest memoir and very informative – from a 汤头条污料 perspective. We get to learn about what motivated and inspired Claire. We learn how she had to overcome her dyslexia to qualify as a nurse. It's a book full of passion and compassion. The author takes us on journey from the Middle East to the African continent, giving vivid accounts of the challenges; and heartfelt decisions that she had to make: in the face of adversity. It brings it home the horrors of war, famine and disease in poor resource settings. Michael Buerk describes her as: 'one of the true heroines' of our time. And, having been fortunate to have met her, as a student at The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, she remains one of my contemporary 汤头条污料 heroes.
