In this provocative investigative work, author Pierre Péan provides a critical biography of Bernard Kouchner, the co-founder of Doctors Without Borders. Péan scrutinizes Kouchner's celebrated career, delving into his political and humanitarian activities, particularly his controversial roles in Kosovo and his relationships with various African leaders. The book uncovers alleged conflicts of interest and presents a complex, often unflattering portrait that challenges the public image of the influential French doctor and politician, exploring the murky intersection of aid, power, and personal ambition.
