“Within hours of his arrival, Norman was taken to meet Chairman Mao Zedong. The smiling man grabbed Norman’s hands in welcome….The two men talked for hours.” This book will be especially fascinating for all readers interested in: history or biography. One of the world’s top surgeons, an advocate of democratic medical services, and an international humanitarian, Norman Bethune risked his life to deliver blood to the front lines. He is revered in China as a hero, where he was a personal friend of Chairman Mao Zedong, and his unceasing and inventive work established a lasting bond between his adopted people and this heroic Canadian.
