Growing up in Durban, South Africa, in the heat of social change, Jonathan Kaplan became a doctor who fled apartheid, taking charge of a combat-zone hospital in Angola where he was the only surgeon for 160,000 civilians. This is his stirring testament of adventure, discovery, survival, and a career devoted to saving people caught in the crossfire of war.
