The most
decorated solder in World War I was not
Sergeant Alvin York, as many believe,
but a stretcher bearer named Charles
Denver Barger. And Barger is just one of
the legion of military medical personnel
whose lifesaving feats are remembered in
this inspiring volume. A tribute to
those who tend the sick and wounded
under the toughest conditions, Doc is
made up of the sometimes humorous, often
harrowing, and always heartfelt memoirs
of quick-thinking medics and heroic
nurses, of surgeons and physicians
equipped with only the tools of mercy,
performing acts of great courage.
