Description
On 22nd April 1995, more than 4,000 Rwandans were massacred and thousands more injured in a place called Kibeho. Terry Pickard, a seasoned soldier and medic, was one of a 32-strong force of Australian UN peacekeepers present on that terrible Saturday. While the United Nations prevented a higher death toll, the massacre continues to haunt him.
Combat Medic explores the harrowing experiences of Pickard, offering insight into the challenges faced by peacekeepers in volatile regions. His firsthand account vividly captures the chaos and emotional toll endured during one of the darkest chapters in Rwanda's history.
