First published in 1972, Edward D. Churchill’s Surgeon to Soldiers: Diary and Records of The Surgical Consultant, Allied Force Headquarters, World War II offers a unique perspective as wartime memoir. As the chief surgical consultant in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations, Colonel Churchill preferred to spend his time in the field observing and analyzing conditions on the ground.
