It would be difficult for a biographer to weave together the many strands in the remarkable life of Kevin Cahill.... [He] has practiced as a physician in the most impoverished, strife-torn, disease-ravaged parts of the world, and devoted much of his life (and considerable powers of persuasion) to humanitarian causes all over the globe. These essays, by turns elegiac, lyrical, funny, tender, nostalgic, and vehemently impassioned, come together in an ongoing tapestry, a portrait of a dedicated physician who has dared to make a difference. - Oliver Sacks, M.D. Kevin Cahill writes... as a physician who has been tending patients on the front line of misery for over half a century.... To Bear Witness is an important contribution to the search for a less violent 21st century. - Michael J. O'Neill, Past President, American Society of Newspaper Editors
