description: Dr. David Livingstone found slavery and tribal wars. Pioneer Mission doctors saw diseases unknown in Europe had few effective drugs and many died of malaria. This book records their struggles often in their own words. The gradual build-up of medical services and striking changes in patterns of disease (including HIV/AIDS) in 150 years are described in fascinating detail. The subject is well illustrated and set in the beautiful country of lakes and mountains - Malawi.
