boldMore fascinating and harrowing accounts of the volunteer professionals who risk their lives to help those in desperate need./bold br/br/Praise for the second edition: br/br/bold"Direct and evocative, this well-written book pushes readers to the edge of a world of grueling realities not known by most Americans."br/ -- Choice /bold br/br/Doctors Without Borders (aka Medecins Sans Frontieres, or MSF) was founded in 1971 by rebellious French doctors. It is arguably the most respected humanitarian organization in the world, delivering emergency aid to victims of armed conflict, epidemics and natural disasters as well as to many others who lack reliable health care. br/br/Dan Bortolotti follows the volunteers at the forefront of this organization and its work, who daily risk their lives to perform surgery, establish or rehabilitate hospitals and clinics, run nutrition and sanitation programs, and train local medical personnel.

There are also many new and revealing color photographs and insights gained from the author's 2009 trip to Haiti, where he found three different arms of MSF operating in dire conditions. br/br/boldHope in Hell/bold is a widely acclaimed portrait of a renowned Nobel-winning humanitarian organization, revealing how Doctors Without Borders provides immediate and outstanding medical care.
