Recommended reading for every medical professional - By: M. P. Griffin, 26 Nov 2007 
This is a great book that should be read by every doctor, nurse or medical student. Oh, & soldier or marine if you want to understand why your first aid training matters. It's a fascinating account of the Falklands War from the medics' perspective,in diary form, day by day. It is well written & unput-downable & covers just about every incident & battle during the war & gives a unique insight to life & actions behind-the-lines.
So many Falklands veterans are alive today thanks to the superb medical treatment they received, from their mates on the battlefield, to this field hospital, & final casevac on the long chain back to the UK.
Not your normal war book - By: N. D. Jervis, 19 Sep 2005 The author of this book is possibly the only person to be decorated by both sidesin a modern conflict. The story of the field hospitalin the Falklands war is both well written & compelling. Essentially a human story dealing with the courage of those whose job it was to save the lives of others, from both sides. Proud of his achievements where all who entered the field hospital alive left alive Rick Jolly has written a moving & heart warming narrative.
