<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>From activation at Camp Atterbury, Indiana, in 1942, through Third Army's push across Northern Europe, "Saving Lives, Saving Honor" chronicles the day-by-day World War II experiences of the 39th Evacuation Hospital. As the horrors of war played out on the battlefield, casualties poured into the evacuation hospitals. Trace the steps with the doctors, nurses, and enlisted men who fought the battles to save the lives of thousands of these wounded soldiers. Follow General George S. Patton across France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and into the heart of Nazi Germany through the eyes of those who struggled to mitigate the fruits of war: injury, permanent disability, and death. See the sacrifice of sanity as the ambulances seem to never stop. Each day fighting the enemy brought patients by the hundreds to canvased hospitals not far from the action. See the evil of Buchenwald, the scars of battle, and the cost of liberty in an almost tangible way. See the faces of youth who traveled across the ocean to stare down tyranny, their images brought from the dust of time back into the light of day. Be there every step of the way, from the muddy hills at Metz to the blood-covered snow at the Battle of the Bulge. Meticulously researched, this volume brings to life a military medical unit and its personnel who nearly vanished from the pages of history.
