Book Description
Excerpt from A Surgeon in Arms The greater part of A Surgeon in Arms was written before the United States entered the war in April, 1917. Therefore, the Americans are not mentioned in many paragraphs in which the soldiers of the other allies are spoken of. The Canadian soldiers on the Western front have won undying fame for their marvelous feats in many actions, from the first battle of Ypres in April, 1915, to Vimy Ridge in April, 1917. As soldiers they take a place second to none. And, I believe, the American soldiers will, in the lines, show the courage, dash, and initiative, and win the same fighting reputation and honors as the Canadians; for do not Americans and Canadians inherit the same blood, literature, history, and traditions; do they not both live in the same wide spaces, speak the same mother tongue, aspire to the same ideals, and enjoy the same free institutions?

Surgeon at Arms
Author: Lipmann Kessel
Publisher: Casemate Publishers
ISBN: 1783830506
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
Surgeon at Arms is without doubt one of the most interesting and dramatic personal memoirs to come out of the Second World War. The author, a surgeon, was parachuted into Arnhem with the First Airborne Division. His professional skill was at once tested to the limit and the modest detachment with which he describes serious operations performed under appalling conditions would alone be enough to merit the reissue of the book. But of equal significance is the authors account of his unceasing efforts to stop the Germans evacuating the hospital, a struggle which must inevitably be seen against his Jewish background. Add to this the authors hair-raising escape and the heroism of the Dutch Resistance and you have all the ingredients of a truly remarkable book.The flame of Arnhem has lately been rekindled by Cornelius Ryans book and the thirtieth anniversary ceremonies. But Ryan was an historian; Kessel was a participant; and it is only through the eyes of the participants that the reader can honestly assess the validity of the historians viewpoint. Lipmann Kessels book has lost nothing of its freshness or its drama in the thirty years since the events it describes took place. Now republished after being unavailable for many years, it warmly deserves to find a new generation of readers.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Military Surgeon, Vol. 46: January, 1920 The chief function of such a hospital is that of evacuation. Tch hinges on a realization of this. In addition, medical care should be administered to the maximum possible without conflicting with the chief function. Professional care demands a more or less lengthy stay in hospital following operation, and it is an accepted fact that the earlier surgical intervention can be given, thereby diminishing the chances of sepsis, the greater the number of recoveries and the shorter the period of convalescence. But these units must be more or less mobile so that the number of beds available will be limited by transportation facilities. An allowance of a thousand beds will be the maximum possible in the majority of such organizations. Therefore any scheme of operation must be so planned as to hold in hospital after operation only such cases as are absolutely necessary. Here the chief function of evacuation and optimum medical care conflict. And any plan must also prepare for the maximum intake which should not exceed one thousand cases in any twenty-four-hour interval provided the General Staff has had the opportunity_to make provision beforehand.
