Sand in the Gears : How We Won World War II in Spite of Ourselves

"Except for my clinical experiences at Camp Maxey, I had not handled live patients since I was a fourth-year medical student & even then under several layers of supervision...I lacked a plan (in the battalion Aid Station) for those who really needed medical attention...I therefore decided that I would utilize my two well-trained technicians to the fullest extent, evacuate to a rear area anyone whom I thought was seriously ill, & ask my mother to send me the book she kept on the shelf in the kitchen: What to Do Until the Doctor Comes." Dr. Graham's highly acclaimed career as a pathology professor, research scientist & physician at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has spanned fifty years. This surprisingly humorous autobiography of an Army doctor during World War II is based on more than 200 letters written to his wife, mother & aunt. Objectivity & a wry sense of humor carried him through the ugliness of war, even in the most life-threatening situations. Full of delightful anecdotes, it offers a fresh perspective of a bygone era - different from the viewpoints of the media or "the Brass."
