Book descriptionAlthough this book is the memoir of one womans experiences as a nurse who served in many war torn countries some years ago, it s a very timely book given the situation in the world today and the stories we see on the news daily of how food (or the lack thereof) is used as a weapon for war and how refugees are traumatized.Anne Watt knew from an early age that she wanted to be a nurse (like her mother had been) and that she wanted to travel the world (as her father had done in the merchant marine service). Growing up in post war UK she was stunned to listen to the radio and hear people calling for help in other European countries because they were still being attacked even though the war was past.After the sudden death of her mother, Ann and her sisters were subjected to the cruelty of a new step-mother and the loss of any outward affection from their father. Her determination to become a nurse did not meet with her fathers approval but she persevered and managed to succeed in her goal.She became a nurse working for Save The Children and was sent to Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Her role was to be a nurse to the children who were the innocent victims of a war no one really understood.The things she saw and the stories she tells in the book are chilling, and there were times when I had to put the book down for awhile and regroup. How she had the stamina and persistence to do what she did is amazing to me as a retired nurse. Her second contract with Save the Children was in a different part of Vietnam and brought with it different stories and challenges. She fell victim to chloroquine resistant malaria and became extremely ill which gave her greater insight into what some of her patients were experiencing.During her time in Vietnam she saw the horror of Americans turning against Americans because of skin colour . She saw over and over again mans inhumanity to man mixed with examples of mans humanity.One section of her story that particularly resonated with me was the time she spent at Sa Keao, a refugee camp situated in Thailand near the border to Cambodia. Amongst the refugees were members of the Khmer Rouge. None of the staff were allowed to stay on site at night and it was during that time that women were raped and abused. They would not use the provided washrooms because that was where the local soldiers would find them. They would be shouted at all day and only later did Anne find out the threats of further persecution that were being uttered. Many had been tortured before they arrived and torture had often taken place in their temples meaning that any solace from their religion was taken from them. Unaccompanied children were taken from the camp and sent to other countries for adoption against the protests of the nuns and staff present. At that point little effort had been made to determine if they had surviving relatives. Women were unknowingly being given shots of birth control to prevent pregnancy. This story is happening again today in our world - perhaps with different details but with the same victims and suffering.Annes career did not stop here though. She also served as a nurse in Beirut and was present when Desert Storm began. Her stories of how different groups of people were treated were mind-boggling and she personally experienced having border people from Israel spit on her and harass her. There was one family she got to know through teaching them English. When invited to their home she discovered that they had a photograph of Adolf Hitler in a place of honour. She was told He is the great Mr. Adolf Hitler. He killed six million Jews. He is our hero. When she asked him Why would you think killing six million people is a good thing? He replied. It is only good if they are Jews. Will you teach your children this? Yes I will.At one point after her abusive experience at a checkpoint Anne wrote: That was but a minor incident compared to what others endured. It would have been a minor incident in the early 1940s too, when the soldiers would have been German and those questioned and humiliated would have been Jews. Today in 2010 it is but a minor incident in Afghanistan, Chechnya, Gaza or Zimbabwe. But I remember how it made me feel, and can only wonder at how people learn how to control themselves when such humiliations are constantly heaped upon them. I am a nurse, not a politician. All I see is the human detritus left in the wake of poorly conceived policies and failed diplomacy. If, as is said so often, the oppressed do become the oppressors, then we should all be very, very worried about the future we are leaving to our children.This is a book which should be read by as many as possible in the hopes that we can learn from it. I wish all of our politicians would read it. Lest you think Anne Watt had no hope, I leave you with some words from her forward: Ive learned that we have the power and capacity to make this world a better place; that walls of suspicion and fear can be replaced by bridges of kindness, care and understanding. All we - and especially those who govern- need to find is the will to change things: the will to banish the neglect of the poor, the abused and the defenceless in our Western society; to rethink the lousy political decision-making that leads to the destruction and cruelty of war and extreme poverty....Always the Children by Anne Watts online library ebook bookstore tablet
