For many surviving military veterans, the Vietnam War is an indelible part of their lives. That they survived is due in many cases to the heroic, life-saving actions of combat medics like Bill "Doc" Strusinski. Being a frontline medic was, and still is, one of the most dangerous jobs in the Army. Medics were targeted by the enemy and often called upon to aid fallen soldiers in the line of fire. In Strusinski's riveting book, Care Under Fire, Strusinski thrusts the reader squarely into moments of terror during firefights, the exhaustion of endless patrols, the anguish of losing friends despite best efforts to save them, and the intimate bonds created during times of desperate need. This is a book about war, yes, but even more about how one man was transformed by his "sacred duty" to offer care under fire to the young soldiers he fought beside.

Industry Reviews

"Bill Strusinski did his duty and then went on to be the kind of citizen we wish we had more of in our country. He is not asking for thanks or anything else except, after 50 years, the chance to tell this remarkable story. We owe him, and his combat colleagues our thanks, our apology, and our respect. The hundreds and hundreds of us who have known him in the fifty years since he became a civilian have known that he is an exceptional man. Now we know what he has been through. Our respect for him was high before we knew his story. Now we continue to respect and enjoy him on a whole new level. Everyone who respects America and what we stand for will benefit from this book and will get an understanding of the warriors who have made our country great."

-Harry Sieben, Jr., Major General (ret) (bvt), Minnesota National Guard
