In the aftermath of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Crawford
F. Sams led the most unprecedented and unsurpassed reforms in
public health history, as chief of the Public Health and Welfare
Section of the Supreme Commander of Allied Powers in East Asia.
"Medic" is Sams's firsthand account of public health reforms in
Japan during the occupation and their significance for the
formation of a stable and democratic state in Asia after World War
II. "Medic" also tells of the strenuous efforts to control disease
among refugees and civilians during the Korean War, which had
enormously high civilian casualties. Sams recounts the
humanitarian, military, and ideological reasons for controlling
disease during military operations in Korea, where he served,
first, as a health and welfare adviser to the U.S. Military Command
that occupied Korea south of the 38th parallel and, later, as the
chief of Health and Welfare of the United Nations Command. In
presenting a larger picture of the effects of disease on the course
of military operations and in the aftermath of catastrophic
bombings and depravation, Crawford Sams has left a written document
that reveals the convictions and ideals that guided his generation
of military leaders.
