Going on a mission as a surgeon with Doctors Without Borders doesn't just mean putting the burst intestines back into the abdomen. Despite the daily thunder of gunfire, the ever-present threat of cholera, surgeries on badly shot children and lack of sleep, Tomas Sebek's mission in Yemen is about observing the everyday life that lies beneath the veil of war. What is life like for Muslim women doctors? What human stories are hidden behind the faces of the patients and what do our names reveal about us? Tomáš Šebek describes all of this in his latest book from the scene of the world's biggest humanitarian disaster, but he does not lack a sense of humour and exaggeration.
