Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The author, a highly decorated sailor, relates the history of his thirteen-month tour of duty in wartime Vietnam in 19661967. He, embedded within the Marine Corps, tells about treating the wounded while exposed to live-fire conditions on everything from squad-size patrols to company-size missions. The author also relates how he fulfilled his responsibility for the marines health in camp; he was often the only medical person within miles. He describes the procedures for getting the wounded aboard a helicopter and transferred to a field hospital. Added to his responsibilities was caring for civilians as the United States tried to win the hearts of the Vietnamese people.

Owing to an uncanny memory, an acute sense of observation and a healthy sense of humor his stories come alive with human interests that span the gamut. This story offers wide appeal for general audiences today more than ever as we witness our nation's growing interest and coverage of PTSD!
