Hopeless.

However, the story of Dr Martin Henry Dawson is completely different.

Big Tents & No Frontiers

For four years this dying doctor held off resistance from his own body and his own wartime government just long enough to successfully force at least some of the Allies to actually change their set-in-stone war aims.

Dawson's solo actions convinced some powerful agencies in the American government to move beyond the Allies' traditional high sounding but ultimately empty rhetoric into concrete live-saving results.
