In Three Wars: a Personal and Orthopaedic Perspective Cyril J. Kaplan

In Three Wars is a riveting, and often humorous, personal account of the experiences of a doctor, trained in South Africa and England, applying his skills to the practice of war surgery. Beginning with his experiences in the South African Medical Corps during the Second World War where he was posted "Up North" to Egypt, In Three Wars combines personal anecdotal and historical background with keenly observed commentary on medical successes and failures in exigent circumstances. It provides a compelling, first-hand account of the struggles of dedicated doctors and nurses to preserve lives and limbs in the face of war's destruction.
