Sommario/riassunto

Burma Surgeon Returns by Gordon S. Seagrave, M.D., chronicles the experiences of Dr. Seagrave and his medical team during World War II in Burma. The book details Seagrave's efforts to provide medical care amidst the challenges of war, disease, and limited resources. As a fourth-generation American in Burma, Seagrave established a medical mission in Namkham, building a hospital and training local nurses. His narrative includes the retreat with General Stilwell's forces into India and the subsequent return to Burma, highlighting the resilience and dedication of his team. The book is intended for readers interested in medical history, World War II, and humanitarian efforts in challenging



environments.
