Mercy Warriors

Mercy Warriors: Saving Lives Under Fire by John 'Doc' Combs brings the war in Vietnam to life through the stories and experiences of the men who saved lives. These were the corpsmen and medics assigned to combat units, the mercy warriors, who struggled to keep men alive long enough to get back to a hospital unit. Afterwards they were the ones who worried if they had done the best they could. These and other worries continued long after their military service. Their powerful stories and observations will help current and future generations of mercy warriors save lives and help themselves cope with the consequences.
