This is the story of the brave men and women who go to war armed with bandages not bombs, scalpels not swords, and put saving life above taking life.
Ranging from the battles of Ancient Rome to the Vietnam War, Emmy-award winning author Martin King takes you on an enthralling journey through the history of medicine as seen through the lens of warfare. Hear about the men and women who risked their lives to save others in the chaos of conflict, including:
Mary Seacole a black nurse who ran her own medical center during the Crimean War
John Bradmore, the man who saved Prince Henry in the War of the Roses,
Tillie Pierce, the 16-year-old girl who tended soldiers from both sides during the Civil War
Told with King's usual flair and penchant for engaging narrative, this illustrated account provides a testament to these remarkable medics and the vital part they played in history.
