520    Citizen-Surgeon takes listeners into the otherwise 
       inaccessible, remote, and intense world of life and 
       surgery within a combat zone. In the backdrop of the US-
       led war in Afghanistan, amidst a defining US Marine Corps'
       offensive to conquer the Marjah region of Helmand Province,
       [then] US Navy Commander Paul Roach and his company-mates 
       assemble and congeal as a medical unit in Southern 
       California, transport from the United States to their 
       tents in Dasht-e-Margo (the "Desert of Death") in Helmand 
       Province, Afghanistan, and professionally execute their 
       role as one of the few medical and surgical companies 
       supporting this major offensive.  In the course of the 
       audiobook's events the author undergoes a transformation 
       from being a physician in a military uniform into a 
       military officer that happens to be a physician. The 
       crucible effecting this change is the military offensive 
       and his role within it. Shocking and intense, an array of 
       critical injuries and their treatments are described in 
       rich language that anyone, medical or non-medical alike, 
       can absorb. Death also pervades the atmosphere; intrusive,
       unyielding and painful, its battlefield familiarity and 
       personal impact is resisted, suffered, and ultimately, 
       accepted.  Citizen-Surgeon is an intimate portrayal; a 
       chronicle; a celebration of friendship, love, success, and
       failure; contemporary war; and military medicine. It is an
       account of a slice of reality that few people are 
       privileged to know. It reflects deeply upon the nature of 
       personal choice and how that choice puts us where we are 
       in life, even if we did not fully see in advance how the 
       choice would change us. Citizen-Surgeon also explores a 
       variant of post-traumatic stress particular to medical 
       assets, and it reveal's one man's Chess match against it. 
       It is a must-listen for those with a specific interest in 
       contemporary military medicine, and for those with broader,
       essentially human interests in individual growth, 
       adventure, and self-actualization.
