Combat Surgeon:
Up Front with the 27th Marines
by James S. Vedder

Book Description: "It is a story of valor throughout, but it is a human story as well, including instances of lost nerve, duty shirking, and tactical errors. Dr. Vedder, who earned the Silver Star for his courageous actions while accompanying his litter-bearers to and from the front lines under fire, delivers a unique account from the vantage points of surgeon, leader, and semi-objective observer." — USNI Proceedings
