Medic: Saving Lives" by John Nichol & Tony Rennell is the story of those brave men
- & increasingly in this day & age women
- who go to war armed with bandages not bombs scalpels not swords & 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 & to risk their own lives to try & save the dying. Doctors nurses medics & stretcher bearers go where the bullets are thickest through bomb alleys & mine fields ducking mortars & rockets wherever someone is hit & 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 & 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 & thoughtful. The excellent team of Nichol & 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 & made a prisoner of war. Tony Rennell is a writer for the " Daily Mail" & a former deputy editor of the " Sunday Times". Their previous books include " The Last Escape" " Tail-End Charlies" & " Home Run"."
