Appreciation is expressed to those authors who provided manuscripts for the second United States revision of the NATO Handbook on Emergency War Surgery. Some chapters are entirely new and some have been substantially revised, while a few chapters from the previous edition required only very minor changes. To avoid implying authorship of those first U.S. edition chapters that required only minimal revision, all contributors are cited alphabetically rather than in association with a specific chapter.
