Written from a medical vantage, the volume traces common symptoms, outlines neuropathology clues, and surveys a range of therapeutic ideas tested in field hospitals and early clinics. It offers a snapshot of early 20th‑century thinking about trauma, resilience, and the limits of medical intervention in war. What you’ll find inside
