Summary: Follows the powerful odyssey of James Orbinski, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of Doctors Without Borders, as he returns to Africa to ponder the meaning of his life's work and the value of helping others. In Triage, James returns to Africa to clear his mind and complete his book. Taking a journey to Rwanda, Congo, and Somalia, he revisits the past, and engages with the present. He encourages people to move beyond rage and despair, where bonds of solidarity are forged, and human spirits have hope. --Publisher description.
