Description

From February 2005 to March 2006, Navy trauma surgeon Zsolt Stockinger served on a forward operating base in Iraqs Sunni Triangle, where he treated more than a thousand casualties and performed hundreds of surgeries. Throughout his deployment, he recorded his thoughts and experiences in a journal that he occasionally sent to his wife as a way to stay connected. Stockingers diary offers a unique account of daily military life in Iraq from a surgeons perspective, from the intense action of rocket attacks and emergency procedures to the creative and often lighthearted ways of filling tedious stretches of down time. Illustrated with 47 photographs, this work provides a realistic portrait of life on base and a powerful perspective on the human carnage of war.
