Join Air Force veteran Dr. W. Lee Warren as he chronicles his
fascinating, heartbreaking, and enlightening experience as a
neurosurgeon in an Iraq War combat hospital. Warren's life as a
neurosurgeon in a trauma center began to unravel long before he
shipped off to serve the U.S. Air Force in Iraq in 2004. When he
traded a comfortable, if demanding, practice in San Antonio, Texas,
for a ride on a C-130 into the combat zone, he was already reeling
from months of personal struggle. At the 332nd Air Force Theater
Hospital at Joint Base Balad, Iraq, Warren realized his experience
with trauma was just beginning. In his 120 days in a tent hospital,
he was trained in a different specialty--surviving over a hundred
mortar attacks and trying desperately to repair the damages of a
war that raged around every detail of every day. No place was safe,
and the constant barrage wore down every possible defense, physical
or psychological. One day, clad only in a T-shirt, gym shorts, and
running shoes, Warren was caught in the open while round after
round of mortars shook the earth and shattered the air with their
explosions, stripping him of everything he had been trying so
desperately to hold on to. In No Place to Hide, Warren tells his
story in a brand-new light, sharing how you can: Discover who you
are under pressure Lean on faith in your darkest days Find the
strength to carry on, no matter what you're facing Whether you are
in the midst of your own struggles with faith, relationships,
finances, or illness, No Place to Hide will teach you that how you
respond in moments of crisis can determine your chances of
survival. Praise for No Place to Hide: "No Place to Hide captures
simply, eloquently, and passionately what it means to be a
physician in time of war. Over ten years of war, we safely air
evacuated more than ninety thousand injured and ill from Iraq and
Afghanistan--five thousand were the sickest of the sick. This very
personal story captures the essence of what it takes to be a
military physician and the challenge for our nation to reintegrate
all who deploy to war." --Lt. Gen. (ret.) C. Bruce Green, MD, 20th
AF Surgeon General "Through Warren's eyes we observe not only the
delicate mechanics of brain surgery but also its lifelong effects
on real people and their families, both when the surgery succeeds
and when it fails. Thank you, Lee Warren, for letting us see the
world through your own unique vantage point. Thank you for the
lives you saved, for the compassion you showed, for the faith you
rediscovered, for reminding us of the precious gift of life."
--Philip Yancey, bestselling author of The Jesus I Never Knew
