5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Remarkable!, July 12, 2000
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cellars of Marcelcave: A Yank Doctor in the BEF (Hardcover)
Dr. Ben Gallagher's account of WWI is one of the most compelling books I have ever had the pleasure to read. Between his medical background, self-reflection and observation this is perhaps one of the most complete views of war and humanity ever committed to paper.

Inbetween his own story, Dr. Gallagher also relates the stories of the people around him, including one of the most remarkable escapes from a POW Camp I have ever heard. He also includes the stories of his patients whose courage is both humbling and inspirational.

I am grateful that this account was published and I am only too sorry that more readers have not found this hidden treasure. Don't miss out. This is one of the best personal accounts you will ever find!

5.0 out of 5 stars A treasured addition to any library., November 30, 1998
This review is from: Cellars of Marcelcave: A Yank Doctor in the BEF (Hardcover)
Gallagher's memoir is a combination of clinical observation and vivid prose which provides one with a unique view into the March 1918 Offensive which should become a classic of that nearly forgotten generation. His detail and imagery are phoenominal. Factual in the extreme, his reference to the obscure 12th. U.S. Engineers of Missouri railroad men only serves to enhance the credibility of his experience. I have not, yet, seen a medical memoir of any war to compare. We are fortunate that this account has been published rather than lost in the archives of some facility.

5.0 out of 5 stars absolutely fantastic, November 18, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Cellars of Marcelcave: A Yank Doctor in the BEF (Hardcover)
dr gallagher's second book reflects a remarkable talent as a story-teller. In Cellars, he makes the reader feel like a member of the family as he relates the tale of his grandfather's experiences in World War I. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and I am looking forward to his next story.
