Through a series of thematic chapters, Julie Anderson explores the
nature of injured and disabled bodies before, during and after the
Second World War. Beginning at the end of the First World War and
finishing with the publication of the Piercy Committee's report in
1956, the book examines medical practice, State support, societal
attitudes and cultural meanings surrounding disabled war veterans
and civilians. The book focuses on the embodied nature of the
rehabilitative process, its gendered nature and the concentration
on bodily fitness during the war. Through a series of case studies,
this wide-ranging book seeks to understand the processes,
methodology and practice of rehabilitation for those injured and
disabled in war, and reflect on its adoption into post-war medical
practice, State support and social life. "War, Disability and
Rehabilitation in Britain" will interest historians of medicine,
war and disability studies.
