Summary
Unusually for a Canadian Forces physician, Ray Wiss spent virtually his entire tour in the combat area, at Forward Operating Bases - "FOBs" - in Kandahar province, the birthplace of the Taliban and the most intense combat zone in Afghanistan. One day he might be treating severe and bloody injuries and coping with the deaths of fellow soldiers, both Afghans and Canadians; another day he might be facing the challenge of going to the latrine in sub-zero weather. Captain Wiss shares the "terror and boredom" of the front-line soldier's life in this first book by a Canadian veteran of the Afghan war. Descriptions of violence, some strong language. 2009
