Vietnam/History/Medical/Memoir. Wounded children, tragedy, unnecessary death, tropical diseases, threats, lies, love, intimidation, and other unspeakable horrors of war in the swamp of Vietnam... A young doctor plunges into the bowels of hell... In the worst days of the Vietnam War, a doctors fight to save civilian lives leaves him with memories he cant forget ... As a young medical doctor, Allen Hassan volunteered to treat Vietnamese civilians injured near the front lines of war-torn Vietnam. A humanitarian mission sponsored by the American Medical Association to save the lives of Vietnamese civilians turned into a life-changing experience for Dr. Hassan. The atrocities and brutality he saw and experienced left the former U.S. Marine forever opposed to the horror and tragedy of war. As a doctor treating the civilians of South Vietnam, Dr. Hassan battled tropical diseases, primitive sanitary conditions, and all varieties of war wounds from an endless stream of patients wounded by the war. Performing emergency surgeries deep into the night, in unspeakably primitive conditions in a hospital near the demilitarized zone near North Vietnam he worked night and day in a hospital in the jungle to save lives, only to see many slip away. Failure to Atone is Dr. Hassans graphic memoir of the trials and tribulations of a medical doctor on the front lines of a no-holds-barred war, and of a courageous peoples battle to survive.
