Recenzii
very valuable ... powerful and certainly at times poignant examination of what being a casualty meant in WWI ... This is good medical and military history, with implications for contemporary policy makers
painstakingly interprets archival and secondary sources to offer fresh perspectives
an impressive work, building upon a large body of scholarship while offering numerous new insights. It is a model, and a complex one, that will appeal particularly to historians in a multitude of fields, from graduate students to professionals, who are ready for a nuanced and eye-opening history.
a very welcome contribution to the medical history of war in general and the First World War in particular, wholeheartedly recommended to all interested in the matter (and everyone else).
