A surgeon’s view of medicine in wartime

R. J. Manion’s firsthand account places battlefield surgery at the center of military medicine, describing the work of medical professionals amid conflict. The book presents war through the responsibilities of treating the wounded and alleviating suffering, while also offering a historical record of medical practice under pressure. The supplied description does not identify the conflict or outline particular cases, so the emphasis here is on the surgeon’s perspective and the demands of medical service in a battlefield setting.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in the history of military medicine
