Bøker av Richard D. Colbert

Book 2 of 3 in the "Service for the Benefit of Humanity "series is a biographical narrative of Dr. John William Colbert, a tropical pathologist and physician. This is a fresh and honest personal reflection. The effort goes beyond the volumes of correspondence, diaries, research materials, speeches, and lectures documented in the Collection of the Library of Congress. He was known to friends and family as "Doc." This section of Colbert's papers document experiences in several world locales. He was a millennial of the 20th century and engaged in life experiences as a medical missionary, ex-patriot, community organizer, and adventurer. After service in first World War, Doctor Colbert established a medical practice in Tientsin (now Tianjin), China, where many foreign nationals lived privileged in trade concessions. His papers record the debilitating social and political disorder in China and activities of American and European nationals living in Tientsin prior to World War II.
