Lucille Teasdale Doctor of Courage

For 35 years the two doctors treated such contagious diseases as malaria, TB, and AIDS, and Teasdale performed thousands of operations under difficult conditions. They lived through civil war, hostage takings, and epidemics. Teasdale received the highest humanitarian awards from the U.N. for her life's work in Africa.Cowley, Deborah is the author of 'Lucille Teasdale Doctor of Courage', published 2005 under ISBN 9781894852166 and ISBN 1894852168.
