Synonymous with conflict and humanitarian aid, the mandate of the
International Red Cross (ICRC) is to protect the wounded victims of
war, civilians, prisoners and refugees alike. In Memoirs of a Red
Cross Doctor, Frank Ryding recounts the missions he undertook with
the Red Cross during a career spanning 35 years. Having worked as a
doctor in many of the world s war zones and natural disasters from
the 'killing field' era of Cambodia, to Afghanistan, Chechnya,
Somalia, Pakistan and Sudan his is an account of observation and
also personal experience, contrasting the serious, the terrifying,
the heart-rending and the heart-warming. It is also the story of
the victims who suffer the consequences of war and disaster. It
shows both their courage and that of the aid agencies sent to help
them. As Frank recalls from some Somali graffiti: "It is better to
light a single candle than to curse the darkness'.
