Hope In Hell: Inside The World Of Doctors Without Borders by Dan Bortolotti

An interesting story of MSF, told with reference to the stories of the expats themselves. This book was most interesting when it told the stories of the people, without dwelling too long on major themes. A light read, but pleasant. Lots of photos, for those so inclined.
