"Green Parrots: A War Surgeon's Diary" by Gino Strada, co-founder of Emergency. “Green parrots†are small winged cylinders about four inches long that flutter over lands devastated by war. The product of sick minds with no conscience, these devices are in fact antipersonnel mines that have been designed to look like toys in order to rob children of their future.This book introduces us to the endless destruction that the “greenparrots†have spread throughout the world, and in doing so raises an urgent question: Is it legitimate to accept war as an inevitable prospect for current and future generations?Six years ago, you could find the volume Pappagalli Verdi in italian bookshops. A book-diary by Gino Strada, who talks about his experience as a war surgeon during the most dramatic situations in the world. After 35 editions in Italian with more than 400,000 copies sold and after its publication in French, German, Japanese and Korean, now Pappagalli Verdi has also been translated into English and will be distributed worldwide thanks to Charta, the publishing house that has decided to explore a new field in order to give Emergency and Gino Strada's testimony the chance to be known by an even more numerous audience. Also read "Just War" by Howard Zinn
This is Dr. Gino Strada, co-founder of Emergency. He doesn't like to be considered a hero but to many he is. Here's another picture of Gino at work.
