The First World War was the first 'total war'. Its industrial
weaponry damaged millions of men and drove whole armies underground
into dangerously unhealthy trenches. Many were killed. Many more
suffered terrible, life-threatening injuries: wound infections such
as gas gangrene and tetanus, exposure to extremes of temperature,
emotional trauma and systemic disease. In an effort to alleviate
this suffering, tens of thousands of women volunteered to serve as
nurses. Of these, some were experienced professionals, while others
had undergone only minimal training. But regardless of their
preparation, they would all gain a unique understanding of the
conditions of industrial warfare. Until recently their
contributions, both to the saving of lives and to our understanding
of warfare, have remained largely hidden from view. By combining
biographical research with textual analysis, Nurse writers of the
great war opens a window onto their insights into the nature of
nursing and the impact of warfare. -- .
