PY - 1999 SN - 904200536X PB - Amsterdam : Rodopi, DB - UniCat KW - MEDICINE, MILITARY KW - WAR--MEDICAL ASPECTS UR - https://www.unicat.be/uniCat?func=search&query=sysid:14467499 AB - Spanning the laboratory and the battlefield, and covering a range of national contexts, the essays in this volume provide valuable insights into different national styles and priorities. They also examine the relationship between medical personnel and the armed forces as a whole, by looking at such matters as the prevention of disease, the treatment of psychiatric casualties and the development of medical science. The volume as a whole demonstrates that medicine became an increasingly important part of military life in the era of modern warfare, and suggests new avenues and approaches for future study. ER -
