Description

David Jackson's memoir recounts his 17-year journey as a young surgeon who walked away from his NHS career to pursue adventure and challenge with the British Army. He served on the surgical front line in Northern Ireland, the Falkland Islands, and Bosnia, where he faced the horrors of war and made life-or-death decisions to save soldiers.

From the harsh realities of makeshift military surgical units to the personal struggles that led him back to the NHS, Jackson's story is a powerful and moving account of his experiences as an army medic. With a wry sense of humour and unflinching honesty, he shares his most harrowing cases and the lessons he learned along the way.

Warning: This memoir contains strong language, images of violence and surgery, and sexual themes. Available in colour at £21.23 (new from £14.00).
