Medicine at War by F. B. Smith and Brendan O'Keefe is the hardcover medical history title that collectors seek when completing the Official History of Australia's Involvement in South East Asian Conflicts 1948-1975 series. Spanning Korea to Vietnam, this 1994 Allen & Unwin release examines how Australian medics adapted to jungle warfare, evacuation challenges, and tropical disease between 1950 and 1972.

At 536 pages, the textbook-sized volume pairs military records with public-health analysis, making it a key reference for scholars of the Vietnam War and Australia's broader Southeast Asian campaigns. Its sturdy binding and clean, unmarked pages remain tight and fully readable, while only light foxing on the endpapers and inner covers keeps the price collector-friendly.

The dust jacket shows a small bump at the top rear edge but no tears, and the book comes from a smoke-free home with no writing, dog-ears, or stuck pages. For historians focusing on medical, military, or Australasian studies, this used copy offers reliable information without the premium of a pristine edition.
