British neurosurgeon Henry Marsh

Tense, heartbreaking and humorous, this is the story of acclaimed British neurosurgeon Henry Marsh, who has traveled to Ukraine for 15 years to treat patients who have been left to die; his friend and medical colleague in Kyiv who carries on the fight despite official hostility and archaic surgical conditions; and a young patient who hopes that Marsh can save his life.
