5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond First Aid: Anticipating a Deep Dive into Field Medical Expertise
This "Emergency War Surgery" manual sounds less like casual reading and more like a critical piece of field knowledge condensed into book form. The fact that it's the illustrated, official guide used by US Army doctors and soldiers in active duty speaks volumes about its authority and practicality. Forget your run-of-the-mill first-aid pamphlet; this delves into the serious stuff: infections, head trauma, fractures, burns – the realities of austere environments. It's positioned not just for medics but for anyone who might face extreme survival scenarios, which is a compelling thought. The glimpse into the contents – hemorrhage control, anesthesia in less-than-ideal circumstances, injuries from biological and chemical agents – paints a picture of a resource that doesn't shy away from the harsh realities of emergency medicine in the field. With nearly 200 illustrations promising to clarify complex procedures, this isn't just theory; it's a visual guide to potentially life-saving interventions. My initial impression is that this book isn't just interesting; it's a deep dive into a world of high-stakes medical decisions, and I anticipate dedicating a significant amount of time to absorbing its knowledge. It feels less like a book and more like a vital toolkit for the unthinkable.This review represents my personal opinion and experience with this product.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Medical Desk Reference", NOT "Bubba Bushcraft's Post-Apocalyptic First Aid Guide"
A lot of the negative reviews seem to be along the lines of "not what I expected...". I'd like to know what exactly these people expected from a book titled EMERGENCY WAR SURGERY. This is a book written by army doctors for army doctors to help treat people in war zones. I'm really loathe to say a book covers everything...but this really does seem to cover everything you could possibly run into - here's hoping I never need to refer to the chapters on cesarean sections and neonatal resuscitation. If this book were a house, it'd come with the kitchen sink (never mind that houses usually come with kitchen sinks as a standard option; it's an idiom, it doesn't have to make sense).Again, this book is a REFERENCE MANUAL FOR PROFESSIONALS, NOT A FIRST-AID GUIDE FOR CAMPERS. If you are a "true" survivalist who wants to be able to create a fully self-sufficient community in the event of a total system failure then yes, you should absolutely have this book...to give to your community doctor, not to reference yourself. As it says right in the subtitle: it's a desk reference, not a "for dummies" guide. It assumes you know your anterior from your posterior, your superior from your inferior, your duodenum from your jejunum. It assumes you have access to the proper tools required to perform the tasks described. If you understood all those terms (or at least took the time to look them up and say "hmm, I should definitely take a class on this") then this book might just help you save someone's life one day. For everyone else, it's something you can read before bed to help put you to sleep if you don't have a doctor to give it to.
5.0 out of 5 stars If you did not get the book you expected, it is not for you.
To begin with, I was made aware of this book from the bibliography of another essential book for PHCP professionals titled "Ditch Medicine" which I believe is now out of print. That book, which is not up for review here today, is an excellent reference for providers who, out of necessity, must turn their tent, truck, or whatever they have, into a temporary ICU for more "long-term" care then they want. "Emergency War Surgery" is the same kind of reference. If you purchased it and do not understand it, seek training. It is not a classroom textbook as much as an "Oh, yeah, that's how I need to do that."I am a PHCP in Alaska that is already "remote" by definition of most, given that the closest hospital facility is 2 hours away with good weather. I have found that books like this one, the previous one mentioned, "Where there are no Doctors", and others available from Bolo, need to be in your library if you are, or expect to need to provide diagnosis and treatment of injury to loved ones and others in a remote, wilderness, or off-grid setting. Books do not replace training. They are there for reminder and reference.There is alot more to say on this topic, but I shall keep this "breif", so as to not offend any Bards out there.
5.0 out of 5 stars Cheap insurance.
Right now I’m not in an emergency, I’m not in a war, and I’m not a surgeon. But the way things are going you never know and this book could be worth its weight in gold. When times are good is when you prepare. If you wait until things are bad to try and help yourself it’s too late and you’ll have a bad time.
EMT going into police work
I bought this book trying to gain some insight into combat medicine, also emergency procedures usually necessary after gunshot wounds and trauma, it satisfied my expectations. This comprehensive manual will allow you to understand some of the basic measures to keep people alive until complete medical care can be provided. Text as well as graphics and charts for quick reference.
Excellent.
Extremely good. Informative, graphic and comprehensive. Sometimes heavy going but , it's a serious subject. Would be a must, under certain circumstances.
I highly highly highly recommend this book!
Super happy with my purchase! Just ordered this book 2 days ago and already got it!!!!!!! It is a huge brick! I haven't had the time to read all the book yet. However, I've noticed that it is easy to read (even for a person like me who has no medical training), their are many pictures and tables for me to understand everything. I highly highly highly recommend this book!

Attention; pour profiter de se livre, il faut un minimum de connaissances en biologie et en anatomie. Amis survivalistes, attention, ce livre ne s’adresse pas à un public sans formation médicale minimale.
