The First World War and Health: Rethinking Resilience aims to broaden the scope of resilience by looking at it from military, medical, personal and societal perspectives. The authors ask how war influenced the health - both physically and psychologically - of those fighting and attending the wounded, as well as the general health of the community of which they were part.
