‘Brave, compassionate and inspiring – it left me in floods of tears’ Adam Kay, author of This Is Going to Hurt
For more than twenty-five years, David Nott has taken unpaid leave from his job as a general and vascular surgeon with the NHS to volunteer in some of the world’s most dangerous war zones. From Sarajevo under siege in 1993, to clandestine hospitals in rebel-held eastern Aleppo, he has carried out life-saving operations and field surgery in the most challenging conditions, and with none of the resources of a major London teaching hospital.
The conflicts he has worked in form a chronology of twenty-first-century combat: Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Darfur, Congo, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Gaza and Syria. But he has also volunteered in areas blighted by natural disasters, such as the earthquakes in Haiti and Nepal.
Driven both by compassion and passion, the desire to help others and the thrill of extreme personal danger, he is now widely acknowledged to be the most experienced trauma surgeon in the world. But as time went on, David Nott began to realize that flying into a catastrophe – whether war or natural disaster – was not enough. Doctors on the ground needed to learn how to treat the appalling injuries that war inflicts upon its victims. Since 2015, the foundation he set up with his wife, Elly, has disseminated the knowledge he has gained, training other doctors in the art of saving lives threatened by bombs and bullets.
War Doctor is his extraordinary story.

En superviktig, inspirerande och tragisk bok som verkligen ger läsaren en inblick i hur det är att vara in the front line. Men även hur viktigt arbete volontärerna gör! LÄS

En otroligt bra bok, den har en tydlig riktning och man känner verkligen medkänsla för alla de människor David Nott interagerar med men även med honom och det ger läsaren en större förståelse för hur det är att leva under turbulenta förhållanden men också hur anpassning tillbaka till livet hemma kan vara svårt och utmanande. I slutet av boken är en dialog mellan David Nott och hans fru inkluderat och även den delen var intressant och det var spännande att få höra saker även från henne och hur det är att leva med en person som ofta reser till avlägsna platser och hur de utbildar kirurger samt hjälper till i kriser världen över.Rekommenderar starkt!

Vad David gör är ovärderligt. Det är fantastiskt att just han har orkat sammanfatta dessa händelser i en bok som han dessutom själv läst in. Han och de organisationer som mot alla odds utför dessa humanitära insatser är de enda som borde få benämna sig "krigshjältar".
