Publisher's Summary

Doctors, nurses, medics, and stretcher-bearers must venture wherever someone is injured and the cry for assistance goes up. Their job is to put themselves in the heart of danger – to risk their own lives as they try to save the dying.

War at its rawest is their domain, an ugly place of shattered bodies, severed limbs and death. They fulfil society’s vital pledge to its warriors that they will not be abandoned on the battlefield. Yet, more often than not, what they do goes unnoticed – except by those who survive because of their extraordinary courage and skill. This is the story of those brave men and women who go to war armed with bandages not bombs, and put saving life above taking life.

Amazing read

It's incredible to learn more about medical history and the way soldiers have been looked upon through time. Even more so about the overs keeping them alive.
Really an inspiring book, and add an Australian it is really interesting to see the difference between the services of purity countries, especially the lessons learnt, but not shared with allies.

I highly recommend this, especially for anyone considering service or a medical career.
