The first comprehensive examination of the relationship between war
and public health, this book documents the public health
consequences of war and describes what health professionals can do
to minimize these consequences. It explores the effects of war on
health, human rights, and the environment. The health and
environmental impact of both conventional weapons and weapons of
mass destruction (nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons) is
described in chapters that cover the consequences of their
production, testing, maintenance, use, and disposal. Separate
chapters cover especially vulnerable populations, such as women,
children, and refugees. In-depth descriptions of specific military
conflicts, including the Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf War, and
wars in Central America provide striking illustrations of the
issues covered in other chapters. A series of chapters explores the
roles of health professionals and of organizations during war, and
in preventing war and its consequences. This revised second edition
includes seven new chapters, including one on landmines by the
Nobel Prize-winning founding director of the International Campaign
to Ban Landmines.
