Emergency War Surgery, Second United States Revision of the Emergency War Surgery NATO Handbook

This is a handbook of war surgery. Its lessons have been learned and then taught by combat surgeons--"young men who must have good hands, a stout heart and not too much philosophy; he is called upon for decision rather than discussion, for action rather than a knowledge of what the best writers think should be done." (From the Prologue of the 1988 edition of Emergency War Surgery)
