This book contains the very personal reflections of a Malaysian-born orthopaedic surgeon who travelled to Lebanon to work in the refugee camp hospitals that came under fire during the 1982 and 1985 invasions. Her vivid, no-holds-barred descriptions of the devastation and inhumanity that ruled there is contrasted with her tales of heroism and hope against all odds. This all sounds quite cliche', and I supposed it is, but it did strike a chord with me nonetheless.

Secara nih buku berbentuk testimoni, seperti buku FOR GOD OR COUNTRY, maka segi bahasa ato penyampaian emang tidak terlalu diutamakan. Apalagi nih buku terjemahan. Tapi isinya, huuu, sangat menyentak dan mengharukan. Bikin mbrebes mili alias nangis sesenggukan. Bikin kita, baik sebagai umat Islam atau sebagai human being, ngerasa marah sama tentara2 Israel yang tak berperikemanusiaan. Pokoknya MUST-READ banget deh!!!!

Keistimewaan orang palestina yang paling mengagumkan adalah --> ga peduli berapa kali pun dihancurkan mereka akan bangkit kembali, membangun bata demi bata... Mungkin kata2 "what doesn't kill you will make you stronger" bisa merepresentasikan kekuatan palestina..
