This is the fifth of the series of six military surgical manuals and covers the management of the several wartime emergencies indicated in the title. Despite the variety of the material covered, the general standard of the -book is high and this volume compares favorably with the other volumes in the series. In fact, the subjects covered, especially burns and shock, represent especially important aspects of present day military medicine. Each of the four chief sections of the book represents a discrete condition and should be considered separately.
