Surgery in World War II: The Physiologic Effects of Wounds (1952)By United States Army Medical Department
 
The book details the experiences in the care of wounds & injuries.
 
This volume is unique in the correct sense of that much-misused word. It presents the first organized effort in any war to carry out a scientific study of the physiologic effects of wounds immediately adjacent to the battlefield and many times on the battlefield. The research laboratory was brought to the casualty.
 
The studies thus carried out provided the solution of clinical problems which are of major importance in the management of wounded men and which are directly applicable to the problems of trauma encountered in civilian practice and to those of peacetime surgery.
