The Authors combine their vast surgical experience (spanning general, cardiothoracic, vascular, orthopaedic, maxillofacial, plastic surgery and neurosurgery) to create a practical and unique decision-making tool for acute casualties with war wounds - from gaining access to 'vital' structures and initial surgical actions, to wound closure, burns management and bone holding - with the primary aim of optimising the stabilisation of casualties, preventing infections and maximising future functionality. The book contains hundreds of authentic clinical photographs taken by the Authors in the field, plus numerous surgeon-drawn diagrams designed to clarify and align perfectly with the text. 

THE FIVE MAIN SECTIONS in the book (see images) have colour-coded side tabs to aid navigability, with most topics covered on double-pages spreads that can be laid flat so that all relevant information is clearly visible at a glance. There is also a full Index, compiled by one of the Authors. 

The content aligns with the hands-on surgical training courses delivered by the Authors (e.g. by the David Nott Foundation), and the loose-leaf format allows easy updating of information in the future.
