Description
This two-volume work is the first published comprehensive history of military medicine in the Western world. The second volume begins with the Renaissance and ends with the Vietnam War. Throughout both volumes, the analysis is presented in a chronological sequence, with particular civilizations or nations studied according to their period of military importance. In the second volume, additional emphasis is placed on the cross-national transfer of information relevant to military medicine. Each volume concludes with a bibliography and general subject index.
