Reuel Long's experiences as an MD in the emergency rooms of Flint,
Michigan prepared him for only some of what he would see in a
mobile army surgical hospital. Antiwar sentiment among the doctors
in basic training at Fort Sam Houston set the tone for his tour as
a general medical officer. In March 1971, the 27th MASH played a
critical role treating survivors of the deadliest attack on any
firebase during the Vietnam War. Long's vivid memoir recalls the
casualties he cared for during the war, including one he crossed
paths with 44 years later-who in his own words describes his
rehabilitation from the loss of his legs and his protesting the war
from a wheelchair. An addendum gives an insider's account of the
U.S. military's initial failure to remedy a fatal design flaw in
the M16 rifle, which caused an unknown number of American
casualties.
