With a focus on mental illness, Shell-shocked British Army veterans
in Ireland provides the first in-depth investigation of disabled
Great War veterans in Ireland. The book is a result of five years
of researching previously untouched archival sources including
psychiatric records of former patients otherwise closed to the
public. The remit of the work contributes to various
historiographical fields including disability history, the social
history of medicine, the cultural history of modern war, the
history of psychiatry and Irish studies. It also seeks to extend
the scope of the First World War with an emphasis on how
war-induced disability and trauma continued to affect large numbers
of ex-servicemen beyond the official cessation of the conflict. --
