5.0 out of 5 stars The best (only) book of its kind, 3 Oct 2003
By A Customer
Kaufman and Carswell have written a book that is breathtaking in its scope and depth. The book explores case studies and specimens from the battlefields of the early nineteenth century and describes both the types of injuries and their treatment in astounding detail. Although aimed at the specialist in military history, military surgery and medical history, the book is a fascinating read for anyone interested in war and the history of war, as beyond the mass of technical information one can begin to understand the lives (and deaths) of those described, and something of the horror of the everyday lives of soldiers on the front. My friends, keen battle reenacters, read the book agog, whilst their girlfriends, wives and partners gagged at the painful clarity of the illustrations and photographs. The production quality is so high that it is not surprising that the book is published by the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh - no mainstream publisher would have had the courage to print something so specialised at such a high quality - the profits would be too low. I would recommend this book to academic libraries, medical institutions and the inquisitive amateur war historian. There is no other book like it that I know of.
