SHERI FINK MD, PhD is a visiting fellow at the Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Center for Health and Human Rights at Harvard University School of Public Health. She has worked with the humanitarian organization International Medical Corps in the Balkans,
north Caucasus, southern Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia, and she directed medical assistance programs in Iraq. Fink's writing has appeared in such publications as the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the International
Herald Tribune, JAMA, and The American Journal of Public Health. A graduate of the University of Michigan and Stanford University School of Medicine, Fink serves on the advisory council of Physicians for Human Rights. She is also a dynamic and engaging speaker and interviewee.
WAR HOSPITAL is a young physician-reporter's chronicles of the experiences of doctors and nurses trapped in besieged Srebrenica, Bosnia, illuminating the passions, challenges, tragedies, and agonizing moral quandaries of practicing medicine in a war zone.
In April 1992, a handful of young physicians, not one of them a surgeon, was trapped along with 50,000 men, women, and children in the embattled enclave of Srebrenica, Bosnia-Herzegovina. There, in a town whose tragedy still reverberates, the physicians faced
the most intense professional, ethical, and personal predicaments of their lives. WAR HOSPITAL is their story, and that of those who want to help them. More information is available at www.warhospital.net.
