But decades later, his military record comes back to haunt him when it turns up in his professional dossier. In a surreal coincidence, the French, British, and Israeli secret services suddenly become interested in recruiting him, and Cohen accepts the deal the French Army offers: he can settle his accounts by serving as a liaison emergency doctor in Afghanistan. \u003cp\u003eAfter a year and a half of training, Cohen is in 2011 deployed at Camp Bastion, the largest British Military base since World War II. His mission is twofold: First, to study Damage Control Resuscitation, a new treatment for polytraumatized soldiers that was developed by British doctors in Afghanistan. Second, to share these advanced protocols with the French Military Health Service. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombining elements of spy thriller and adventure story with reflections on the costs of war, Cohen’s memoir offers a unique perspective on the conflict in Afghanistan, and on the medical challenges presented by the expansion of terrorism into Europe and America.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SparkPress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47040543228144,"sku":"9781943006656","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781943006656_p0.jpg?v=1763791239","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781943006656","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
