description: Norman Bethune was a doctor who devoted his life to helping others and whose story is a remarkable one, cut short by his early death in China in 1938. This biography traces his life from his childhood spent as a preacher's son to his experiences in the First World War and his crusades to find a cure for tuberculosis and to promote health care in Canada. But Bethune is most famous for the time he spent fighting Fascism as a field doctor in Spain and China during the 1930s. His story inspires us to believe that we can change the world through our actions.
