Nice to see free content converted into ebook format and Amazon making money off it.
True story... In 1942 a pharmacist mate in a submerged submarine did an appendectomy using a book like this, despite never having held a scalpel before. Patient lived, only to disappear in another sub 2 years later. His book was paper of course.

This looks like a good deal.

There is also an earlier edition available to download for free at various websites -

https://www.google.com/search?q=free+download+%22Special+Operations+Forces+Medical+Handbook%22&ie=UT... [google.com]

The earlier version is much shorter at <800 pages.

Amazon does get a slice for use of their site to sell the book, but the seller of this title is Simon & Schuster.
