The contributors to this volume cover an impressive range of countries in Europe and North America as well as a wide sweep of chronology from the Ancient World to the present. The essays address the emergence of "veteran" as a political category with unique privileges and entitlements and of disabled veterans as a special project--and indeed one of the original projects--of the modern welfare state.Corporealities.Veterans Healthhistoryhttps://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D058014Q000266Disabled Personshistoryhttps://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D006233Q000266Veteranshistoryhttps://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D014728Q000266Armed Conflictshistoryhttps://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000068337Q000266Public Policyhistoryhttps://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D011640Q000266Veterans HealthhistoryDisabled PersonshistoryVeteranshistoryArmed ConflictshistoryPublic Policyhistory362.4/08697Gerber David A.1944-1638571Michigan Publishing (University of Michigan)MiUMiUBOOK9910807969103321Disabled veterans in history4082691UNINA
