He worked initially as a missionary and then as a relief worker keeping a diary. These are a selection of his entries between 1988 and 1994. The purpose of publication was, in his words, to 'give a vivid impression of the way ordinary people in war affected areas reacted to the often painful experiences they had to undergo. ' Very Good Hardback. First Edition. 344 pages with maps and some colour photographs.
