"`At the heart of war is suffering,\' writes William Styron in his prologue--a truth magnificiently illuminated in The Face of Mercy. The story of those who in the midst of war battled to save lives remained untold--until now. The Face of Mercy contains the most compelling photographs of battlefield healers, culled from over a hundred archives in twenty countries, including the work of Sebastiãn Salgado, Lee Miller, W. Eugene Smith, and others. . .The Face of Mercy is a memorable and provacative book--a book whose real subject is survival."--the publisher.
