A novel of suspense and psychological tension set in the world of international humanitarian aid by a founder of Doctors Without Borders.
The four men accompanying Maud, a young French idealist, on an aid convoy to Bosnia are very different from the clichรฉd image of the humanitarian volunteer. One by one, they reveal the secret wounds that have brought them to this conflict zone and, mile by mile, the true nature of their cargo . . .
Prize-winning author, Jean-Christophe Rufin offers up a powerful psychological literary thriller that asks vital questions about the role of humanitarian action in today's world, bringing to light the most fundamental dilemmas of our age. As a new kind of violence insinuates its way into the heart of Europe, this novel asks whether it is more effective to take up arms against the enemy or attempt to counter violence with benevolent acts and enlightenment ideals.
"An enthralling, cleverly told novel." โ Elle (France)
"This taut thriller is distinguished by its literary polish and moral heft." โ Publishers Weekly
"This mix of well-crafted characters, psychological suspense, and the harsh realities of life in wartime results in a nail-biting, challenging literary thriller." โ Kirkus Reviews
"As a philosophical novel, Checkpoint is very engaging. . . . Gun battles, explosions, and fights all appear after the first one hundred pages. . . . Checkpoint is about the nature of modern warfare and the various definitions of humanitarianism." โ New York Journal of Books
