Burma Surgeon [ 1943 ] Gordon S. Seagrave (Lieut.… par Gordon S. Seagrave
A very interesting account of a missionary doctor in Burma in the 1930’s and early WW2. A very human story told around people less than events. The nurses were an impressive group of women. Eventually they operated as a field hospital for the Chinese forces under Stilwell. The account of the walk out of Burma is excellent.
