Beautiful Humanity Realized, April 8, 2005
This review is from: Green Parrots (Paperback)
"Green Parrots: A War Surgeon's Diary" is a remarkable book with frank reality coming from a true humanitiarian.
Dr. Gino Strada has been been helping victims of war, 90% civilians, for over seventeen years. His experience has brought him to Afghanistan, Iraq, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Pakistan, Sudan, Cambodia and other countries affected by war. Dr. Strada cuts through the clutter revealing what truely matters.
Government A fights government B with a devastating price being paid by C, Civilians. More than talk or protest, these civilians need real help immediately.
Dr. Strada and his organization EMERGENCY has been offering that help for over ten years but it is still just a drop in the bucket.
Green Parrots is an anaesthetic-free-root-canal into humanity's irrational cruelty and violence and simultaneously and more importantly, it is about profound empathy and the real love countless 'Gods' of this world continuously attempt to take credit for. Green Parrots is about sovereign human conscience driving sovereign human action, collectively of course!"
This book is be required reading. I DECLARE IT! Read it and share it.
And check out [...]
