    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

    Book Preview:

    #1 I was in Haiti to report on American soldiers. Twenty thousand of them had been sent to reinstate the country’s democratically elected government, and to strip away power from the military junta that had ruled with great cruelty for three years.

    #2 I remember Captain Carroll and Dr. Farmer making a mismatched pair. The captain was a redneck, while Farmer was a champion of human rights. They seemed to not understand or care about each other’s problems.

    #3 I eventually met Dr. Farmer, and he was a very nice man. He explained to me that he didn’t dislike soldiers, and that he had visited the captain to warn him about the release of Nerva Juste.

    #4 I had a difficult time relating to Farmer’s way of thinking, because it implied such a extreme definition of doing your best. The world is full of miserable places, and one way of living comfortably is not to think about them or send money when you do.
