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 failure to remedy a fatal design flaw in the M16 rifle, which caused an unknown number of American casualties.

The wry and heart-wrenching memoir of a young doctor’s year behind the frontlines in Vietnam. Assigned to the marine camp at Phu Bai, Dr. John A. Parrish confronted all manner of medical trauma, quickly shedding the naïveté of a new medical intern. With this memoir, he crafts a haunting, humane portrait of one man’s agonizing confrontation with war. With a wife and two children awaiting his return home, the young physician lives through the most turbulent and formative year of his life—and finds himself molded into a true doctor by the raw tragedy of the battlefield. His endless work is punctuated only by the arrival of the next helicopter bearing more casualties, and the stark announcements: “12 litter-borne wounded, 20 ambulatory wounded, and 5 dead.” 12, 20 & 5 is an intimate and unique look at the effects of war that Library Journal calls “an autobiographical M*A*S*H* . . . phenomenal.”

"Most important, there is no evidence that the good will built by U.S. doctors transferred to the South Vietnamese forces, and in fact the opposite may have been true: American programs may have emphasized the inability of the South Vietnamese government to provide basic health care to its own people. Furthermore, the programs may have demonstrated to Vietnamese civilians that foreign soldiers cared more for them than their own troops did. If that is the case, the programs actually did more harm than good in the attempt to win hearts and minds."--BOOK JACKET.

Gary Saunders, an x-ray technologist, served from 1970 to 1971 in MASH (mobile army surgical hospital) units in Vietnam. In this memoir, he shares his story of basic training, his journey to and arrival in Vietnam, and time he spent in the 27th Surgical Hospital in Chu Lai, as well as the 91st Evacuation Hospital, and 23rd Medical Company. Besides x-raying patients, he served on guard duty. The book's title, Hold Your Breath, reflects what Gary told patients when they were x-rayed, but it serves as a broader metaphor for what happens in a war zone. Gary shares how he worked in a surgical hospital with limited equipment and staff who were trained in army programs. He recalls horrendous stories of amputees-including US soldiers and Vietnamese children. He details the stress of being under attack and trying to protect the patients from artillery. Vietnam was not all bad, however. Gary made some lifelong friends. He discovered the beauty of Vietnam and enjoyed holiday meals and days spent at the beach. Overall, he had the experience of a lifetime in a time and place most of us can only imagine. Hold Your Breath helps fill a gap in Vietnam War history. It is compelling reading for history and military buffs and anyone who wants to understand what it is like to live in a war. Gary Saunders grew up in rural Ohio. After high school, he became an x-ray technologist before being drafted to serve in the Vietnam War in a MASH unit. After the war, he had a successful decades-long medical career at several different hospitals in Ohio. Today, he is enjoying retirement with his wife Joyce.

This book is about living and working in a mobile army surgical hospital (MASH) in South Vietnam. It talks about the hospital itself, the setting, how we lived, how we coped with less-than-good circumstances, the type of patients we received, the equipment we worked with, and the emotional highs and lows that were part of every day. The stories are true. Some of the dates and numbers of things may be off a little; that was a long time ago. Names have not been used to protect the wonderful, dedicated people with whom I worked and lived with.
