Item description for Daktar: Diplomat in Bangladesh Paperback by Viggo Olsen

Daktar: Diplomat in Bangladesh is the powerful, enthralling story of a brilliant surgeon skilled in diplomacy, Dr. Viggo Olsen. Propelled from a carefree Nebraska boyhood into the operating rooms of noted hospitals, Dr. Olsen rejects a remarkable opportunity in academic surgery to serve suffering East Pakistanis half a world away. When war strikes, he rejects evacuation to treat the injured and face a killing, burning, raping army. Read the inside story of those dangerous days.

Daktar is an exploration of faith and missionary medical work against the backdrop of the Bangladeshi war of independence. It will be of interest to those seeking to learn about American missionary medical work, including the establishment of a hospital in a rural area and the conversion of locals to Christianity. Olsen chronicles his dealings with red tape and recounts how he was able to access Pakistani political elite in order to get permission to do missionary work in East Pakistan. The book will also be of interest to those learning about Bangladesh's history.
