The twentieth century saw two world wars and many other conflicts
characterised by technological change and severity of casualties.
Medicine has adapted quickly to deal with such challenges and new
medical innovations in the military field have had advantages in
civil medicine. There has thus been interplay between war and
medicine that has not only been confined to the armed forces and
military medicine, but which has impacted on health and medicine
for us all. These themes will be examined from the Boer War to the
dawn of a new century, and a 'war against terror;' the experiences
of individuals as doctors, nurses and patients, are highlighted,
with personal, sometimes graphic, first-hand accounts bringing home
the realities of medical treatment in wartime.
