Witness to War

Witness to War by Clements, Charles. mass_market edition. ISBN: 9780553249316.

Deep in the battle-ravaged countryside of El Salvador, Dr. Charles Clements witnessed the special tragedy of children caught in the crossfire of war. Practicing medicine with only the supplies he could carry on his back, Clements would desperately operate with a Swiss Army knife, deliver a young mothers first baby during an earthquake, and narrowly escape death himself from bullets, tropical fever... and betrayal. An intensely personal odyssey of conscience, Charles Clementss story began in Vietnam, where after being a pilot he made a decision to dedicate his life to healing instead of killing -- a dedication that eventually carried him to another strife-torn land to bring his medical skills and a message of hope to a people in dire need. The result is Witness to War, an important true account that must be read by every concerned American... a gripping drama so vivid, so shocking, it will haunt our memories as it touches our hearts.
