This was a nice read. it is a small book in nature but it was very interesting. it is about a man who was in the navy during wwII and he was assigned to create some camps for refugees. He was a medical doctor and he tells of his time working in the refugee camps. The most amazing part of his story is when he is out of the navy that he returns to vietnam and at his own expense goes into the villages and sets up medical facilities and treats the villagers. He goal was to teach the people themselves to learn to treat themselves medically and to sustain themselves so that they were independent of America. Sadly, Dr. Dooley dies at a very young age of cancer, at the age of 34, and thus ends his missionary endeavors. He was very loved and missed when he died.
