'Here's a good book that has been waiting to happen ... a valuable book ... clarifying and substantiating conclusions that the community has been adumbrating for some time.' Bulletin of the History of Medicine 'an ambitious study' Annals of Science 'a most valuable addition to a bourgeoning area of medical historical scholarship' Social History of Medicine 'should appeal to those with an interest in military medicine and should not be overlooked by scholars with an interest in histories of medical professionalization and medical specialization, with whose work it also engages.'
