Medic: Saving Lives - From Dunkirk to Afghanistan Book

Their job is to put themselves in the heart of danger - to run into battle to rescue the wounded and to risk their own lives to try and save the dying. Doctors nurses medics and stretcher bearers go where the bullets are thickest through bomb alleys and mine fields ducking mortars and rockets wherever someone is hit and the shout goes up - 'Medic!
