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. His notes contain timeless precepts on combat casualty management, reveal his approach to navigating Army regulations and red tape, and illustrate his highly effective style of leadership and mentorship, all under austere conditions. Some eighty years later, the wisdom in these pages remains highly relevant. In this new edition, Jeremy W. Cannon and Eric A. Elster—both veterans of the Global War on Terror—pair Churchill’s original content with new commentary by the next generation of military surgical leaders and their military and civilian mentors.
