The first edition of conflict and catastrophe was produced in 2002 and a second, successful edition, followed in 2009. The decision to produce these works sprung from painful problems experienced by colleagues and authors themselves during many humanitarian and related deployments. The guide for both editions was to provide, in one volume, an entry level text covering all aspects of deployment, with an emphasis on medicine and healthcare in these environments. This third revised, expanded and updated edition of Conflict and Catastrophe Medicine: A Practical Guide follows its successful predecessors in providing a framework for use by health professionals visiting a resource constrained environment. Encompassing problems brought about by local conflict or natural disasters, the book covers preparation, organisation, logistics, treatment of major trauma and medical emergencies, and the special problems of delivering medicine in a hostile environment. This book comprehensively tackles: Self-preparation of health professionals to face a range of medical and related problems which occur in hostile and remote environments; War and disaster medicine, covering acute management, rehabilitation, reconstruction and prevention; Bridging the fields of medicine, nursing, international relations, history, politics and economics. The book also touches on nutrition, infection, trauma, psychiatry and psychological medicine and training.

Six years have passed since the first edition of Conflict and Catastrophe Medicine was published. Those 6 years have not been peaceful: conflict has continued in Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, and the Middle East. Terrorist attacks have continued around the world and London has had its first experience of suicide bombings. The landscape for humanitarian work is dangerous and challenging. The aim of this second edition is in line with the first edition – to provide an ent- level resource for people working (or considering work) in a hostile environment. Contributors with real hard one practical experience have been invited to share their views, and they do this with a raw honesty in a variety of writing styles. The second edition of Conflict and Catastrophe Medicine has benefited from these contributions, and we hope our prospective readers will do so as well. The book editors are donating their royalties from this book to the charity “Help for Heroes’. Adriaan Hopperus Buma Alan Hawley David G. Burris James M. Ryan Peter F. Mahoney v Preface to the First Edition This work is intended as an entry-level text aimed at medical, nursing and pa- medical staff undertaking work in a hostile environment.
