Critiques en avant-premièreChris Coppola

More than a year has passed since Saddam Hussein’s regime was toppled, and Iraq’s health care system is tumbling into crisis. With the war still raging and thousands of Iraqi doctors fleeing the country in fear for their lives, the U.S.’s Balad Air Base is becoming a last refuge for nearby Iraqi families seeking care for their children. Coppola: A Pediatric Surgeon in Iraq is the fierce, true-life account of Dr. Chris Coppola’s two deployments in Operation Iraqi Freedom as an Air Force pediatric surgeon. Dr. Coppola is to Iraq what Tim O’Brien was for Vietnam, revealing the scope of the larger story in the clarity and intimacy of the details. Propelling the reader through nerve-racking scenes inside a military trauma hospital, this exhilarating story reveals how one man’s absolute commitment to U.S. soldiers and uncommon devotion to Iraqi families has made a difference.
