Summary
"This book follows members of the Chinese Red Cross Medical Relief Corps through World War II as they became enemy aliens and pursued their work despite perils. These doctors had a keen sense of public health needs and contributed to the recognition and management of infectious diseases and nutritional disorders, all the while denouncing corruption, inhumanity and inequality."-- Provided by publisher
