A family physician delivering babies, managing disease and trauma, and dealing with death - discovers new dimensions when he goes to war in Iraq.  Treating the military, civilians and their families, "Dr. Bob" experienced tremendous joy, unbearable heartache, and deep gratitude.  He shares those emotional experiences in this deeply personal memoir.
