Elie Paul Cohen, a Franco-British civilian emergency doctor, was in
his youth an anti-militarist who evaded conscription. But decades
later, his military record comes back to haunt him when it turns up
in his professional dossier. In a surreal coincidence, the French,
British, and Israeli secret services suddenly become interested in
recruiting him, and Cohen accepts the deal the French Army offers:
he can settle his accounts by serving as a liaison emergency doctor
in Afghanistan. After a year and a half of training, Cohen is in
2011 deployed at Camp Bastion, the largest British Military base
since World War II. His mission is twofold: First, to study Damage
Control Resuscitation, a new treatment for polytraumatized soldiers
that was developed by British doctors in Afghanistan. Second, to
share these advanced protocols with the French Military Health
Service. Combining elements of spy thriller and adventure story
with reflections on the costs of war, Cohen's memoir offers a
unique perspective on the conflict in Afghanistan, and on the
medical challenges presented by the expansion of terrorism into
Europe and America.
