Rush to danger : medics in the line of fire / Ted Barris.

Barris, Ted, (author.).

Summary:

"In this unique front-line recounting of the experiences of stretcher bearers, medical corpsmen, nurses, surgeons, orderlies, dentists and ambulance drivers, Barris explores the evolution of battlefield medicine at such historic engagements as Fredericksburg, Batoche, the Ypres Salient, the Somme, Vimy, Singapore, Dieppe, Normandy, Falaise, Bastogne, Korea, Iraq and Afghanistan. Barris's sources reveal--like never before--why men and women sporting the red cross on their helmets or sleeves didn't flee to safety but chose instead to rush to assist.".
