Medicine in the Second World War.
Harrison has a keen eye for societal, political, circumstantial and
ideological influences on medical policy ... he makes perfectly
clear the enormous importance of medicine and healthcare in general
for waging (a victorious) war ... an excellent book.

the story Harrison tells is compelling and will be immensely useful
to future scholars of medicine and the First World War.
