"Author Sheri Fink, who has worked in conflict and disaster zones around the world, spent five years researching and interviewing the doctors, nurses, and humanitarians who worked in Srebrenica. The result is not only a gripping story of surgery and survival, but also a complex and thought-provoking reflection on the nature of medicine in wartime. Fink challenges the myth that war is uniquely positive for medicine, an ideal proving ground for surgeons and a cultural medium for great medical advances. She asks the toughest questions: Are the ethics of medicine in wartime identical to the ethics of medicine in peacetime? Are there times when humanitarian aid paradoxically prolongs human suffering rather than helping to relieve it? What could make a doctor put down a scalpel to pick up a gun?"--BOOK JACKET.
