Writing on the Edge is a collection of 14 first-hand accounts of life inside conflict zones where Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières, or MSF, provides emergency medical care. The book takes readers on a harrowing tour of countries in crisis, profiling people struggling to cope with war, disease, and lack of access to basic health care.

Hear the poignant accounts of contributors Tom Craig, Damon Galgut, Hari Kunzru and Dr. Greg Elder on November 18 as they discuss their experience documenting the humanitarian activities of Doctors Without Borders.
