Jon Smith, microbiologiste et agent du très secret Réseau Bouclier, le groupe clandestin mis en place par le président américain pour pallier les défaillances des agences de renseignement américaines minées par des luttes de pouvoir et paralysées par la bureaucratie, assiste, à La Haye, à une conférence sur les maladies infectieuses. Alors que rien ne le laissait présager, une série d'attaques meurtrières secouent la ville : des bombes explosent à la gare et à l'aéroport, l'hôtel où logent les savants est noyé dans un bain de sang. La police est impuissante, l'armée débordée, et Smith s'échappe de justesse. Dans le chaos qui s'ensuit, Oman Dattar, un seigneur de guerre pakistanais accusé de crimes contre l'humanité, parvient à s'évader de la prison où il attendait son procès. Désormais libre, Dattar fomente un complot aussi meurtrier qu'ambitieux pour exercer sa vengeance et mettre une fois pour toutes l'Occident à genoux - à moins que le Réseau Bouclier ne puisse l'en empêcher.

Siècle après siècle, les différentes régions du globe ont été et sont encore le siège de conflits armés. Suivant les progrès de la science, l'évolution des techniques militaires, et l'importance des moyens dont disposent les belligérants, la nature de ces conflits évolue sans cesse. Ainsi, au cours des années, les caractéristiques, le nombre et l'importance des lésions infligées aux victimes des combats se sont constamment modifiés, obligeant à une adaptation continue des soins apportés aux blessés. Les types de lésions sont nombreux et variés, de la plaie balistique simple au polycriblage, en passant par la brûlure. Les conditions de prise en charge sont également multiples selon le type de conflit et les moyens mis à disposition par les services de santé. Les soins apportés aux blessés sont de nature différente selon l'infrastructure et le moment de la prise en charge : au plus près de la zone de combat, dans une antenne chirurgicale ou un hôpital de campagne, ou dans un hôpital du sol national. C'est autour de ces étapes que cet ouvrage s'articule. Destiné aux médecins et aux infirmiers exerçant dans des zones de conflit, Le blessé de guerre se propose de présenter les techniques particulières que nécessite un blessé de guerre, des premiers soins au traitement définitif.

From the stresses of repeated deployments to the difficulties of re-entry into civilian life, we are just beginning to understand how protracted conflicts, such as those in Iraq and Afghanistan, are affecting service members. Issues such as risky health behaviors and chemical dependence raise productivity concerns as they do with all organizations, but they also have a profound impact on the safety and readiness of troops--and by extension, the military as a whole--in life-or-death situations.   Understanding Military Workforce Productivity cuts through the myths and misconceptions about the health and resilience of today's active-duty armed forces. This first-of-its-kind volume presents up-to-date findings across service branches in core health areas including illness and injury, alcohol and drug abuse, tobacco use, obesity, and mental health. The short- and long-term implications discussed relate to the quality of the lives of service members and their families, the quality and preparedness of the military as a workforce, and prevention and intervention efforts. The book:   Presents data from ten large-scale health behavior surveys sponsored by the Department of Defense. Offers background context for understanding health and behavioral health and productivity among service members. Introduces a health and behavioral health model of productivity loss in the armed forces. Compares key indicators of substance abuse, health, and mental health in military and civilian populations. Reviews approaches for improving military productivity. Identifies areas for further study.   Understanding Military Workforce Productivity offers a rare close-up of health issues in the services, making it an invaluable source of information for practitioners and researchers in mental health, substance abuse, health behaviors, and military behavioral health.

The Spanish Influenza Pandemic of 1918-1919 sheds new light on what the World Health Organization described as "the single most devastating infectious disease outbreak ever recorded" by situating the Iberian Peninsula as the key point of connection, both epidemiologically and discursively, between Europe and the Americas. The essays in this volume elucidate specific aspects of the pandemic that have received minimal attention until now, including social control, gender, class, religion, national identity, and military medicine's reactions to the pandemic and its relationship with civilian medicine, all in the context of World War I. As the authors point out, however, the experiences of 1918-19 remain persistently relevant to contemporary life, particularly in view of events such as the 2009 H1N1 swine flu pandemic.
