This book looks at the history of how humanity has cared for its war casualties and veterans, from ancient times through the aftermath of World War II. 606 $aWar casualties$xMedical care$xHistory 606 $aBattle casualties$xMedical care$xHistory 606 $aVeterans$xMedical care$xHistory 606 $aMedicine, Military$xHistory 615 0$aWar casualties$xMedical care$xHistory. 615 0$aBattle casualties$xMedical care$xHistory. 615 0$aVeterans$xMedical care$xHistory. 615 0$aMedicine, Military$xHistory. 676 $a355.3/450973 700 $aRostker$b Bernard$0863718 712 02$aNational Defense Research Institute (U.S.) 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910220096503321 996 $aProviding for the casualities of war$93748041 997 $aUNINA
