Fifth Army Field Surgeon

              

                   

   

  

Fifth Army Field Surgeon is a stirring account of one US Army surgeon

through three major WW II campaigns. Notable is the treatment of a guerilla-like

operation to remove a wounded German intelligence officer from among swarming German combat troops in Italy.

 The operation was long shrouded from view by security classification protocols. Col. Shafiroff was

surely a character member of Tom Brokaw's 'Greatest Generation."

Review: Rush Robinett, US Navy WW II

      Follow the good doctor from Camp Blanding, Florida to Oran, in North Africa and then into Palermo, Sicily

across to Cassino back to Matuer, North Africa and then to Salerno for the invasion of the Italian mainland.
