Book Details

An honest and brutal account of An American Surgeon and his turbulent, oftentimes heartbreaking, real life account or being a Combat Surgeon in wartime Vietnam.

Over fifty years have gone by since I left Vietnam and returned to civilian life. I seldom looked back. I considered that time of my life to be a distant memory. It was something that I had survived. Little did I know just how much of me I had left there.
