Medic

Medic: Saving Lives" by John Nichol and Tony Rennell is the story of those brave men - and increasingly in this day and age women - who go to war armed with bandages not bombs scalpels not swords and put saving life above taking life. Their job is to put themselves in the heart of danger - to run into battle to rescue the wounded and to risk their own lives to try and save the dying. Doctors nurses medics and stretcher bearers go where the bullets are thickest through bomb alleys and mine fields ducking mortars and rockets wherever someone is hit and the shout goes up - 'Medic! We need a medic over here!' War at its rawest is their domain an ugly place of shattered bodies severed limbs broken heads and death. Wherever the cry of 'Medic!' is heard it will be answered. From the beaches of
Dunkirk to the desert towns of Afghanistan there can be no nobler cause. "Gripping moving and thoughtful. The excellent team of Nichol and Rennell have done it again". (Patrick Bishop author of "Fighter Boys"). John Nichol is a former RAF flight lieutenant whose Tornado bomber was shot down on a mission over Iraq during the first Gulf War. He was captured and made a prisoner of war. Tony Rennell is a writer for the "Daily Mail" and a former deputy editor of the "Sunday Times". Their previous books include "The Last Escape" "Tail-End Charlies" and "Home Run"."
