Event 

"It's a harrowing tale, seen through his unique perspective as a combat medic. Middleton doesn't present the story of one squad, but relates his experiences across a wide spectrum of the troops he worked with and treated. We meet not just Guard soldiers from detachments based in Rutland, St. Albans, Morrisville, Jericho, and Newport, but also those from out of state, as well as Marines and regular Army troops. The cast of characters . . . stories, triumphs and losses, and their occasional sense of futility, come through loud and clear. In straightforward prose, we get a glimpse of Middleton's world . . . graphic descriptions and wry gallows humor mixed with reflections on duty and wartime ethics." --The Times Argus (Barre, Vermont)
