Here are the stories of the valiant doctors and corpsmen whose job during World War II was to save lives. These courageous noncombatants were present at every battlefront-risking their own lives time after time-to bring medical help to their wounded comrades. As an intelligence officer with the Naval Air Corps in World War II, Wyatt Blassingame served on the islands of Tinian and Okinawa, earning a Bronze Star. He witnessed the work of corpsmen and medics when he visited sick and wounded comrades in hospitals on Hawaii, Saipan, and Okinawa.

Dr. Logan W. Hovis parachuted onto Corregidor with the 503rd Regimental Combat Team. Dr. Jeremiah Henry Holleman served with the 89th Division all the way into Germany, liberating a concentration camp. Nurse Mary A. Breeding, five feet tall, 100 pounds, served with the 174th General Hospital in France. Dr. Vincent Stephen Conti was awarded a Bronze Star for fighting typhus in Naples, Italy. These accounts and 31 others covering the heroics of 44 individuals working in the Medical Corps are gathered here by editor Patricia W. Sewell. Firsthand accounts are given by doctors, nurses, ambulance drivers, front-line medics, Navy corpsmen, medical personnel who served on air evacuation teams and hospital ships, and others who functioned in many different capacities. Autobiographies, interviews, letters and cassette tapes helped compose most of these narratives.
