Cahill writes about a quarter of a century involvement with the reality of life in the Third World. The book contains carefully constructed articles. Cahill argues that America’s strategic interests are better served by compassion and understanding than by the transient expediency that so often characterizes our international actions. While working amidst the chaos of Nicaragua or Libya, Lebanon or the Horn of Africa, or while observing the destruction of Derry or the death of AIDS victims, Dr. Cahill asks probing questions and poses profound alternatives to current crises, and discusses the common bonds in a global village tired of war and desperately seeking to heal the wounds of hatred and oppression.

Kevin M Cahill, M.D., served, simultaneously, as Director of the Tropical Disease Center at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York and as Professor and Chairman of the Department of International Health at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland/ Clinical Professor of Public Health at the University of New Jersey Medical College, Consultant to the UN Medical Service, and to numerous foreign governments and international corporations.
