David Nott has spent decades volunteering as a surgeon in some of the world's most dangerous conflict zones, from Aleppo to Afghanistan, Gaza to Sarajevo. This gripping memoir chronicles his experiences operating in makeshift hospitals under bombardment, performing life-saving surgery in desperate conditions, and confronting the very worst of humanity's capacity for violence.

Unflinchingly honest and deeply moving, this account reveals both the physical and psychological toll of working on the front lines of war. Nott's story is one of extraordinary courage and compassion, showing how one man's determination to help the innocent casualties of conflict has saved countless lives whilst challenging our understanding of what it means to be truly humanitarian.
