Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of a remarkable unit that played a vital role in the First World War. The Mount Sinai Unit, composed of dedicated doctors, nurses, and support personnel from New York City, was assembled to provide medical care to American soldiers on the battlefields of France. The author, who served as an ophthalmologist within the unit, recounts their journey from mobilization in New York to their deployment to the battlefront and their eventual return home. The reader is given a glimpse into the harrowing conditions of war, the medical challenges faced by the soldiers, and the camaraderie that formed amongst those who shared the experience. Through vivid descriptions of their travels, their work at the hospital in Vauclaire, and their interactions with the local population, the author paints a poignant picture of the human cost of war and the heroic efforts of the Mount Sinai Unit to alleviate suffering. This book serves as a powerful testament to the courage and compassion displayed by those who served in the First World War, offering a unique perspective on the conflict from the vantage point of a medical unit operating in the heart of war-torn France.
