Trauma and the Vietnam War Generation

presentations, treatment, prognosis, and non-clinical aspects such as medico-legal, ethical, and counseling aspects of the disease. Occasionally, the British perspective makes it slightly less relevant to the U.S., and, sometimes, molecular terms are not explained (e.g., gag, pol, sor, and the like), which would force readers who have not been trained recently to do some background research. Of the 640 or so questions, I found only one answer with which I clearly disagreed, and a few others about which I was unsure. A reasonably good index is present, although the numbers given in the index are not page numbers but rather the numbered MCQ section. Despite the minor concerns above, I found the book easy, enjoyable, and informative to read. The quick test of five questions shows sections where more review is needed, enabling one to focus reading time on areas of greatest weakness. There are a few line drawings, which are sometimes helpful. The book is a useful review of the subject areas mentioned, for medical students, house officers, or practicing physicians.
