Since Antiquity, War Surgery Has Been A Profession Demanding A Special Kind Of Human: One Able To Face Seemingly Insurmountable Problems; One Able To Keep A Lucid Mind And Steady Hands In Extraordinary Circumstances; One Able To Shoulder Tremendous Burdens; And One Able To Harden Himself Or Herself, Time And Again, To Failure And Selfdoubt. It Is, And Always Has Been, A Harrowing Business, And Only For The Brave. Dr John Wright Charts The Evolution Of War Surgery From Ancient Times To The Present Day, Investigating Its Breakthroughs, Its Pitfalls, And The People And Conflicts That Have Shaped It. But Above All, This Is A Personal History, Calling On The Firsthand Accounts Of The Surgeons, Soldiers, Medics, Nurses, Stretcherbearers, And Many Others Who Have Served In Battle And Come Facetoface With Its Most Appalling Horrors.

It Is One That Searches For And Delivers The Truth About Those Who, With Unerring Skill, Courage And Determination, Endeavour To Undo The Terrible Damage We Habitually Inflict Upon Ourselves.
