Celebrated author Jason Brown (Why the Devil Chose New England for His Work) said it best when he described this riveting memoir: "A Surgeon's War offers an indispensible view of combat medicine in the Vietnam War. It is also the beautifully written story of a young man coming of age in the crucible of conflict.
