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. As the
distinguished science writer, Oliver Sacks, notes in his
endorsement, "These essays, by turns elegiac, lyrical,
funny, tender, nostalgic and vehemently impassioned, come
together in an ongoing tapestry, a portrait of a dedicated
physician who has dared to make a difference.
