WELL, Kevin...since you asked.
I will succumb to shameless self promotion. Here are the two books I
currently have in print.
Touched By Fire: doctors without borders in a third world crisis.
McClelland and Stewart Canada
ISBN # 0-7710-5305-3
By Elliott Leyton and Greg Locke
Its about the French medical aid agency Medecins Sans Frontieres/MSF
(or Doctors Without Borders.) and their roll in the Rwandan genocide and
refugee crises of recent years. I spent 3 months in Rwanda, Zaire, Kenya and
Somalia working on this one.
Hardcover, 212 pages 70 photographs
I have a few pictures on my website from the book.
Got to http://www.straylight.ca/locke/projects.htm and follow the links for
An Africa Story. This page is a little slow if you are using a dial up
connection.
Book is listed with Amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com or you can order
through you local book store with the ISBN#.
ALSO:
HIBERNIA: promise of rock and sea.
Break Water Books.

companies. 208 pages, 8.5 X 11 inches, over 300 photos. Colour by Greg
