John Kerner's story that began with A Combat Medic will bring you inside the mind of a clear-thinking and accomplished physician. The mud and blood of World War II provide a unique education and tell an important story.

"John Kerner was not only a fabulous doctor, he can write! This book is a fascinating record of some wonderful-and not so wonderful experiences, as told by a keen and sensitive participant. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be amazed by Dr. Kerner's ability to say so much in so few words-and so well."
