“The authors are pleased to review the book Violence, Trauma, and Trauma Surgery because of its unique interpretation on trauma management, which differs from the traditional “practical” approach (ie, organ- or disease-specific management). … Examples are used for leading changes, and a very pragmatic approach is kept across the entire book. … Their book is a reflection on society, not just a complete and detailed guide for health care providers.” (Francesca Rubulotta and Morgan McMonagle, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 131 (5), November, 2020)
