Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique and insightful account of the medical challenges faced by the Army of the Potomac during the American Civil War. The author, a surgeon himself, provides a detailed and personal record of his experiences, focusing on the critical period between June and October 1862. He vividly describes the struggles to care for the sick and wounded, grappling with issues of sanitation, supply shortages, and the logistical nightmares of battlefield medicine. The author's deep understanding of the medical conditions prevalent in the war, such as scurvy and malarial fevers, is evident as he outlines strategies to combat these threats. Through the lens of his firsthand observations, the author sheds light on the critical role of organization and leadership in delivering effective medical care during wartime. The narrative underscores the importance of proper food and hygiene in maintaining troop health, and the author's efforts to establish a systematic ambulance corps to transport the wounded are particularly illuminating. The book presents a fascinating portrait of battlefield medicine, highlighting the realities of war's brutality and the dedication of those who strove to alleviate suffering amidst the chaos. It is a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of military medical personnel in a time of unprecedented conflict. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
