A well constructed account of the Seagrave detachment and the medical service that they provided to the Allied forces in the campaign to retake Burma during the Second World War. His style is matter of fact and straightforward. The descriptions of the wide variety of maladies is awful to contemplate. The surgical nurse team that he created from the various hill tribes is remarkable for the time and place. He was clearly an exceptional individual who drew the best from those around him. Recommended. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Recent years have offered no more human story than Dr. Seagrave's Burma Surgeon, the account of his medical mission in the jungle wilds and his experiences in the battle of Burma. Now in this new book, he tells what happened to himself and his hospital unit after the retreat with Stilwell. Safe at last in India, survivors of an epic struggle, bereft of home and family, the doctor and his nurses felt that it was the end of all their hard work and dreams; but they had only one thought--to help drive the Japs out of Burma, and some day to see again their home in Namkham. Dr. Seagrave extracted from General Stilwell a promise: that when new action developed against the enemy he would save for them "the meanest, nastiest task of all." Burma Surgeon Returns tells how that promise was kept. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
