Surgeon's Mate' is a detailed and bloody eye-witness account of a Naval Surgeon in the thick of military action, and is highly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of any historian or anyone with an interest in military history. Many of these earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
