No Place to Hide

Published in 2014 by W. Lee Warren, M.D.

No Place to hide

No Place to Hide chronicles (then-Major) Dr. W. Lee Warren's experiences as a neurosurgeon at the 332nd Air Force Theater Hospital, Joint Base Balad, Iraq. In his 120 days in a tent hospital, he survived over a hundred mortar attacks…and the day-to-day desperation of repairing the damages of war.

Dr. Warren's story is an incredibly personal one, yet his experiences treating his fellow service members and civilians affected by war, and – later – his own journey toward recovery, are experiences vital to understanding the profession of arms and its impact on those that serve.

CSAF Message

Three Airmen offered this book for my consideration, and their passionate interest convinced me that this is one Airman's story that needed to be told.  In the Air Force, it's easy to focus on tales of “leadership in the air;” Dr. Warren’s story reminds us that, for Airmen, the Profession of Arms encompasses service across multiple domains…and all of them at times require profound dedication and sacrifice.
