This unique collection of 31 memoirs, diaries and letters-from-the-field by MSF workers and field workers gives an in-depth description of daily life in the worldwide projects of MSF. They reflect on the dilemmas, frustrations and challenges while providing medical assistance to people in need. Their stories also draw attention to the causes of some of the major humanitarian catastrophes of the last decade, and show how it is possible to keep a sense of humanity while working with the most vulnerable populations.
