Review: It is concise and the formatting is good. Text size could be a little bit larger ... - I am a layperson, not an EMT, paramedic, etc. I recently took a TCCC class. I purchased this book afterwards. I am still reading through it but it seems to be consistent with everything taught in the class. Seems to be up to date. It is concise and the formatting is good. Text size could be a little bit larger but I don't find it uncomfortable to read. While I like and would recommend this book, I suggest you also read the reviews from credentialed medical professionals to see what they think. Finally, while a good book is better than nothing, definitely get classroom and/or field training from a qualified source if at all possible. Review: well, the bleeding stopped - No more gushing blood, so I got that going for me!

This is a convenient review of tactical combat casualty care: a good start.
This is a book designed to improve competency of non-surgeons who have been assigned to work supervised by surgeons in military medical facilities or to work semi independently in aid stations or the field of combat. It is not designed as a civilian handbook nor a recreational prepper’s guide. It is no means more than a fraction of the information from the tri-services combat casualty care and ATLS certification course I was required to take many years ago. Nor is it meant to take the place of the corpsman training courses offered by the various services. However in its favor it is a lot more convenient than the stack of loose printed sheets we were given. Anyone getting ready to take the live courses would do well to review their advanced trauma life support handbooks, update their aerobic and strength training exercise and review their prior training on nuclear, biological and chemical warfare. I noticed that Amazon does sell various ATLS related handbooks. It is organized by injury types with chapters on control of extremity bleeding, chest injuries, abdominal injuries, head injuries, burns, hypovolemic shock, soft tissue injuries. I also noticed that it was printed in China, which I didn’t know when I purchased it.

Warning graphic amputation on of 2-8
I did not enjoy the graphic amputation it could have been a drawing not the literally picture but it is a military book so it is what it is.
