A Surgeon In Wartime China is a memoir written by Lyle Stephenson Powell, a surgeon who served in China during World War II. The book offers a vivid and personal account of Powell's experiences as a member of the United States Army Medical Corps, where he was tasked with providing medical care to soldiers and civilians in war-torn China.Throughout the book, Powell shares his observations of the Chinese people, their culture, and their struggles during the war. He also provides a detailed account of the medical procedures he performed, including surgeries, amputations, and treatments for diseases like malaria and dysentery.In addition to his medical work, Powell also recounts his interactions with other members of the military, including his fellow doctors and nurses, as well as Chinese civilians and soldiers. He describes the challenges of working in a foreign country with limited resources, and the emotional toll of witnessing the devastation of war.Overall, A Surgeon In Wartime China is a compelling and insightful memoir that offers a unique perspective on World War II and the role of medical professionals in times of conflict.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
