Reseña del libro "A Surgeon With Stilwell: Dr. John h. Grindlay and Combat Medicine in the China-Burma-India Theater of World war ii (en Inglés)"

A Surgeon with Stilwell is the story of a U.S. Army surgeon who served in India, and Burma from 1941 to 1944. The book draws heavily on Grindlay's unpublished diary which he kept during his entire time in the CBI. It sheds a great deal of new light on the conduct of tropical and combat medicine in World War II plus providing new perspectives on such personalities as General Joseph W. Stilwell, Theater Commander; Colonel Robert P. Williams, Theater Surgeon; Dr. Gordon S. Seagrave, the famed "Burma Surgeon"; Generalissimo and Madame Chiang Kai-shek, leaders of wartime China; and events including General Stilwell's famous "Walkout," the walking retreat from Burma to India in 1942, and the allied return to Burma in 1943 to clear the Japanese from the route of the Ledo Road connecting northeast India to southwestern China. Grindlay's diary is supplemented by his letters to family and friends and diaries of Colonel Williams, Colonel Edward MacMorland, and Captain Roscoe Hambleton, a member of Stilwell's staff who died of illness trying to reach India in the monsoon season of summer 1942, as well as official records and documents.
