Deliver Us From Evil, first published in 1956, is Dr. Tom Dooley's moving account of his humanitarian work in the newly divided Vietnam aboard U.S. Navy refugee ships and in refugee camps in the turbulent years of 1954-55. The book focuses on American efforts to evacuate Vietnamese from Communist-controlled areas, and Dooley's work in camps, hospitals and orphanages with those needing medical care. Included are 32 pages of photographs. Dooley, born in 1927, passed away in 1961 from cancer at the age of 34. Deliver Us From Evil was the first of 3 books he wrote about his experiences in Vietnam and Laos. Thomas Dooley's too-short life remains an inspiration, and was cited as an example by President John F. Kennedy during the formation of the Peace Corps. Dooley's work with orphaned children continues today via the Dooley Foundation-Intermed International.
