About This Item
Vancouver, BC: Douglas & McIntyre, 2010. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. SIGNED BY RAY on title page; Clean, tight, unmarked; slight wear to upper edge of dust jacket; otherwise absolute minimal wear; A riveting diary tracking the daily experiences of a doctor on the front lines of the war against the Taliban. Ray Wiss is an emerg physician by training and a soldier by choice - twice. He was the first Canadian military physician to spend so much time in the field, on combat operations. The result is this diary that Ray kept during his three months at these rudimentary outposts. This book is an intimate collection of a thoughtful man's reflections on loss, 21st-century soldiering and medicine, and what it means to be Canadian. It is a great definition of the examined life, and of the army itself.
