Why read it?
1 author picked War Doctor as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I loved this book as it gave a vivid, no holds barred glimpse into the world of a general/vascular surgeon volunteering in a war zone.
It was written with passion and an eye for detail which captured the imagery and emotions for me, in a way that transported me right into the frontline of the war zone beside him.
This book highlights the necessity for medical services to be provided in war zones and the superhuman personal attributes of those brave staff who venture in there. I am not sure I would have been so brave.
From Rhona's list on medical memoirs which take you 'behind the scenes'.
