I have a personal association to the war in the Pacific. My father was a surgeon in the Aleutian Island campaign. I was 11 months old when he left for the Pacific. He and my Mother did not know that she was pregnant with their second child. His only wish was, if it was a boy, not to name him after him. They had a boy. He was named after his Father. That is why the book Barbed-Wire Surgeon meant so much to me.
