Description
Richard A. Gabriel and Karen S. Metz have completed this unique two-volume work: the first published comprehensive history of military medicine in the Western world. This second volume begins with the Renaissance, the occasion of the Western rebirth of the empirical habit of inquiry that made possible the eventual development of scientific medicine. The volume continues with studies of the increasingly sophisticated art of military medicine as it developed from the slaughter pens and amputations of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to the first effective medical care systems developed in the nineteenth century. The rise of modern military medicine in the twentieth century is then analyzed by Gabriel and Metz up until the close of the Vietnam War.

Endorsement From John Keegan from the Foreword
It is this history [of military medicine], so central to that of warfare, that Richard Gabriel and Karen Metz survey in this invaluable book. . . . No one has hitherto attempted . . . a comprehensive treatment of the subject from the earliest times to the present day and from all civilizations. To have written such a study is Gabriel's and Metz's achievement. It will become an automatic source of reference for all military historians, for medical historians interested in the parallel development of military and civil medicine, and for anyone else concerned with this aspect of warfare through the ages.
