War Doctor: Surgery on the Front Line by David Nott

3.0

This was a very interesting memoir of an English surgeon who travelled to many war zones all over the world, over a 25 year period. It was a very easy to read book and had a good balance of not being too technical or too gory, but still explaining the different surgeries. I struggled to really connect to the author or even to like him, but there is no doubt he has done amazing work. What really struck me about this book was that the majority of casualties in each war zone were innocent civilians - and so many times children.
