Reviews / Votes
From the reviews:"The book is designed to provide surgeons deployed to a combat region with a well-organized, easy-to-read reference `to get or keep them out of trouble.' Any surgeons treating trauma patients are an appropriate audience for this work ... . Chapters are clearly written. ... The table of contents lists chapter titles and authorship while the index provides good access to content. This is a superb introduction to battlefield conditions for surgeons or general medical officers preparing for deployment ... ." (David J. Dries, Doody's Review Service, February, 2011)
