At the beginning of the First World War there was much sympathy in America for the French, British and Russians against the Germans, Austrians and Turks. But the United States Neutralization Act made it a felony for citizens to support either the Allies or the Huns except for humanitarian assistance to either side. To avoid the proscriptions of the Neutralization Act many wealthy, prominent Americans bought ambulances for the French Army and recruited college students from the nation's top colleges and prep schools to man them. Jack and Alan Nichols lived at home with their parents Walter Hammond Nichols and Eleanor C. Nichols in the small town of Palo Alto, California, and were students at Stanford just across the then street. Both were avid pro "Allies". Alan, a Junior at Stanford, was older and left for France first while Jack, a Freshman, followed some months later. For two small town young teenage boys who had never left Palo Alto, crossing the country for a ship to France was in itself an extraordinary adventure. They both joined the French Army Ambulance Corps at first. Once they were in France with the French Army the American Neutralization Act no longer applied nor its prohibition of participation on either side of the conflict. Alan later transferred to the French Army Air Corps and, after the U.S. joined the fight on the Allies side, Jack to the American Tank Corps. Both brothers functioned as "junior journalists." Alan wrote long letters from France to his father about his experiences which were then published by the Palo Alto Times from its "foreign corespondent." They were then collected, edited and appeared as Letters Home: From the Lafayette Flying Corps. Jack wrote his own book Two Years: World War I Experiences in France. This book is now combined with a selection of Alan's letters and the collaborative effort titled Brothers At War. It is the story of their war lives serving, each in his own different way, the French army, but with shockingly different endings.

Sick babies and children are moved between hospitals for many reasons, often to receive specialist care and treatment not available locally. For the transfer to be safe and effective it is necessary to plan carefully for these occasions, and for the doctors and nurses attending the transport to be able to provide intensive care on the move. The book provides guidance in both of these major areas. The first section - 'Planning for Safe and Effective Transport' - details issues to be considered by senior staff in setting-up or modernising a transport programme. General principles and relevant physiology are outlined, and vehicles and equipment are discussed in depth. The second section - 'Practical Transport Management' - is concerned with different patient groups and key clinical issues. These include the distinctive features of neonatal and paediatric patients, and management of airway, breathing and circulation. Other chapters discuss airborne transport, pharmacology, trauma, and special interventions for transport such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and inhaled nitric oxide.
