For more than forty-five years, Dr. Cahill has been helping to heal the world: as a leading specialist in tropical medicine and as a driving force in humanitarian assistance and relief efforts around the globe. In this book he chronicles extraordinary achievements of compassion and commitment. Bringing together a rich selection of writings he crafts a fascinating memoir of a life devoted to others. The book includes front line reports from places under siege-Lebanon, Somalia, Sudan, Nicaragua; there are also visionary essays from the origins of the AIDS epidemic and landmine crises, and no less passionate concerns of his own experiences of pain and suffering - as well as joy and beauty - in the worlds in which he has traveled.
