This book is about the experience of Richard Jadick during some intense fighting in Fallujah. I have only read one other book written by a medic, but that was from World War II. This book was very personal to me, because I had friends that were in Fallujah, not at this particular time, and I know they had some rough experiences. It was very interesting to see how combat medicine had improved and advanced compared to the WWII medic's account. I cannot imagine having to treat people I cared for with wounds like this. This was a very moving book.
