Inhaltsangabe

Shell-Shock: Clinical Accounts From the Front compiles wartime observations on sensory, motor, and nervous-system disorders seen among frontline troops.

It presents case material and expert commentary that illuminate how shell shock appeared, how it affected speech, vision, hearing, and heart function, and how doctors approached treatment under pressure. 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

Ideal for readers of military history, medical history, and anyone curious about how doctors understood and managed shell shock during World War I. This edition offers a grounded, observational view of a pivotal chapter in war medicine.
