“War Surgery in Afghanistan and Iraq: A Series of Cases, 2003-2007 is a medical textbook published in July, 2008 by the United States Army and the Walter Reed Army Medical Center's Borden Institute, with a foreword by reporter Bob Woodruff, who was severely injured in the Iraq War in 2006. It has 83 case descriptions, focussing on new methods of treating blast trauma and penetrating wounds. The book includes graphic and controversial photographs of traumatic battle injuries to US military members and civilians.
Publishing and attempted censorship
In 2007 and 2008, the U.S. Army sought to censor the book and to keep it out of civilian hands, because it contains gruesome photos of war wound which might be used for political purposes. The editors are Shawn Christian Nessen, Dave Edmond Lounsbury and Stephen P. Hetz. Many of the photographs in the book were taken by David Leeson of the Dallas Morning News. By August 2008, it had reached the number 67 position among bestselling books and was the top selling book on surgery at Amazon.com.
Stephen Hetz stated that he always felt that the book would ultimately not be suppressed. “There was never any doubt in my mind that the Army would publish this,” he said. “It was just a matter of getting around the nitwits.” “
