After Oskar is wounded at a street protest one evening, he and Hannah cross paths with Dr. Samir Hasan, a renowned surgeon. As the protests swell into all-out war, Dr. Hasan tends not only to Oskar, but also risks his life, his practice, and his family to tend to a nephew the government has branded an insurgent. Dr. Hasan's humanitarian activities come to the attention of a vengeful, Javert-like secret police officer whose son's death on Dr. Hasan's watch triggers a series of events that will drag Hannah and Oskar deeper into the war and put Hannah and Dr. Hasan in the officer's crosshairs. Both intimate and sweeping in scope, The Doctor of Aleppo lends insight into how the most brutal, devastating war of the twenty-first century is mirrored on the personal scale, leaving scars that can never be healed. 541 $d 20200923. 650 $a Protestants $z Syria $v Fiction. 650 4 $a Surgeons $x Fiction. 650 4 $a Civil war $z Syria $v Fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20210428011738.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6ED6B7DC969D11EBB000DAFF5DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
