War is hell! Bullets flying, explosions turning night into day, the enemy charging in overwhelming waves. When soldiers are wounded in battle their first cries are for “Doc,” the Army medics or Navy corpsmen first responders trained to handle almost anything but surgery. William “Doc” Anderson was a medic on the front lines during the Korean War. What was it like saving and losing lives, and how was it for the soldier on the ground battling not only a relentless enemy but blazing hot summers, below-zero winters, and monsoon rain and mud. Doc writes not about history or politics or strategy, but about real experiences, the humanity and inhumanity of war, what combat veterans wish they could forget and what everyone else should know and remember. North Korea’s continuing threats remind us that “The Forgotten War” has never really ended.

Marshall, founder of the Missouri Warrior Writers Project/Warriors Arts Alliance. "Having served as an infantryman in Korea, I can attest to the high trust we had for our medics-they were always there for us regardless of the danger or difficult circumstances. As described in this memoir of a combat medic, the reader will understand the important role that medics play. The extreme value of combat medics will be attested to by every combat infantryman." - James N. Butcher, author of Korea: Traces of a forgotten war, 2013, Hellgate Press
