Doctor to Africa: The Story of Stirrett of the Sudan is a biography written by Douglas C. Percy about the life of a British doctor named Dr. Reginald Stirrett. The book tells the story of Stirrett's journey to Africa and his work as a medical missionary in Sudan during the early 20th century. Stirrett was born in 1881 in England and trained as a doctor at St. Bartholomew's Hospital in London. In 1908, he joined the Church Missionary Society and was sent to Sudan to work as a medical missionary. The book chronicles Stirrett's experiences in Sudan, including his struggles with the harsh living conditions, his efforts to provide medical care to the local population, and his interactions with the various tribes and cultures in the region. Throughout the book, Percy explores Stirrett's motivations for becoming a medical missionary and his dedication to improving the health and well-being of the people of Sudan. He also examines the challenges Stirrett faced, including the outbreak of World War I and the political turmoil that followed the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Overall, Doctor to Africa: The Story of Stirrett of the Sudan is a compelling biography that offers a unique perspective on the history of medical missions and the role of British doctors in Africa during the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
