In 1991, at the start of the first Gulf War, I was as a 4th year
medical student in Paris France on a general surgery rotation.
Little did I know that fifteen years later, as I cared for Iraqi -
civilians, military, terrorists who would have killed us given the
chance, the words of Dr. Jean Louis Paille would echo in my mind -
"Patient care trumps politics every time... Every time." Under fire
and under pressure in Balad, Iraq, Lt. Col Jay T. Bishoff, a United
States Air Force surgeon, gives a first-hand account of the war in
Iraq through unique photographic images and his personal encounters
in his new book, Boots of War. Dr. Bishoff recounts true stories
from the 332 EMDG Hospital in Balad Iraq when it was the busiest
trauma center in the world. While insurgents launched mortar and
rocket attacks onto the Balad, Iraq Air base an average of seven
times a day, medical personnel continually cared for critically
injured U.S. and coalition soldiers, Iraqi nationals and even the
rocket firing insurgents themselves. Full of laughter and tears,
these modern-day war stories are unforgettable accounts of
Operation Iraqi Freedom, its human cost, and its moral lessons.
