El juramento (PB-9788493424268) - The Oath

Khassan Baiev takes his oath as a surgeon extremely seriously. His devotion to medicine has made him both a man with a price on his head and an exile. He describes how he used to operate for days on end in Chechnya amidst bullets and bombs and how both the Russian army and the resistance leaders came to view him as a traitor. His moving testimony and self-sacrifice attest to the futility of war and bloody conflict.
