A telephone call to Senator J. William Fulbright's Washington D.C. office affected a change of assignment for new Warrant Officer Pilot Thomas Butler to Medical Evacuation School. He could not have known how this 'favor' would effect his future and the decisions he would make in combat.

Mr. Butler presents a rare look into the lives of the men whose task it was to retrieve the wounded from the battlefields and jungles of Vietnam. He tells the story like none other has, very effectively including the writings of a North Vietnamese officer, Captain Trang.
