This unique, interdisciplinary book critically examines the important roles that witness accounts from healthcare professionals have played in testifying to historical instances of genocide, mass killing, epidemic disease, and natural disaster over the past century. Knowledge and perceptions of many major disasters – natural and human-made – have been shaped by witness accounts provided by doctors, nurses, and other medical practitioners.
