Doc Heroic Stories of Medics, Corpsmen, And Surgeons in Combat

The most decorated solder in World War I was not Sergeant Alvin York, as many believe, but a stretcher bearer named Charles Denver Barger. And Barger is just one of the legion of military medical personnel whose lifesaving feats are remembered in this inspiring volume. A tribute to those who tend the sick and wounded under the toughest conditions, Doc is made up of the sometimes humorous, often harrowing, and always heartfelt memoirs of quick-thinking medics and heroic nurses, of surgeons and physicians equipped with only the tools of mercy, performing acts of great courage.Littleton, Mark is the author of 'Doc Heroic Stories of Medics, Corpsmen, And Surgeons in Combat', published 2005 under ISBN 9780760321195 and ISBN 0760321191.
