About the Book

Voici la premiere biographie de Medecins sans frontieres, la plus celebre des ONG francaises, couronnee par le Prix Nobel de la paix en 1999. Trois ans durant, Anne Vallaeys s'est plongee dans les archives de cette association iconoclaste. Du Biafra a l'Afghanistan, du Cambodge au Rwanda, de l'Ethiopie a la Bosnie, l'auteur nous fait revivre les aventures de ces femmes et de ces hommes d'exception - infirmieres, logisticiens et medecins volontaires -, a travers des centaines de recits, de reportages, de portraits et d'entretiens. Revoltes par l'inertie des institutions internationales dans les annees soixante-dix, une poignee de medecins et de journalistes du magazine medical Tonus decident d'intervenir dans les drames de la guerre froide. Se moquant des considerations politiques, ils partent soigner les victimes des combats sans distinction. Leur implication ne se limite pas aux strictes actions medicales, bien au contraire, elle va de pair avec leur role de temoins engages face aux atrocites auxquelles ils sont confrontes sur le terrain. C'est l'une des singularites des MSF: temoigner est un acte politique. Mais comment utiliser les medias sans verser dans l'etalage egotiste et le politiquement correct ? L'opinion publique les suivra: MSF reunit aujourd'hui un million de donateurs prives. Contre les risques de bureaucratisation, MSF privilegie l'action et ne craint pas de se remettre en question. Souvent le debat interne fait rage. Comme leurs leaders successifs, Bernard Kouchner, Francis Charhon, Xavier Emmanuelli, Claude Malhuret, Rony Brauman, Philippe Biberson et l'actuel president, Jean-Herve Bradol, les generations MSF ne se sont jamais rendues aux arguments et au cynisme de la politique internationale. Anne Vallaeys expose ce qu'est la medecine d'urgence, devoilant les tresors d'inventivite que les praticiens sanitaires de l'extreme developpent dans des situations que l'universite ne leur a guere permis d'apprehender. Dans des contextes toujours critiques, contre le mepris des pouvoirs et des interets en place, il n'est pas rare que le doute assaille ces acteurs anonymes. Ce document est aussi un vibrant hommage rendu a ceux qui, jour apres jour, le plus souvent dans l'horreur, construisent MSF, la grande histoire humaine du siecle.
