Content introduction
Why did a Vietnam War hero, with a successful family and career three decades after leaving the battlefield, die of remorse and regret?
How can a young woman working as a humanitarian aid worker in Africa find the courage to continue her difficult work despite war, corruption, poverty and the threat of disease?
Why would a doctor who was betrayed and tortured by his friends during the Cultural Revolution choose to put down his sword gently when given the chance to take revenge?
