Leftist physician and peace activist Ehtisham reflects on his experiences over six decades in India, Pakistan, the UK, Canada, and the United States, combining memoir--of a life that has spanned witnessing the founding of Pakistan and the attendant Hindu-Muslim communal violence sparked by the partition of South Asia to worrying about the fate of his daughter, who worked next door to the World Trade Center, on September 11th, 2001--with political observations concerning the world he has lived through. Within these observations, he is particularly focused on national health care systems and the question of political Islam.
