From the reviews: "This is the first of three volumes in the European Manual of Medicine series intended to provide up-to-date information on trauma for both clinicians in training and senior practitioners. ... General and trauma surgeons needing an outline of the general approach to surgical trauma care or preparing for standardized examinations are an appropriate audience for this work drawn from North American and European specialists. ... This book is a good reflection of contemporary care which may be used by practicing surgeons." (David J. Dries, Doody's Review Service, August, 2011)
