First World War Centenary News Archive

Publisher’s description: “Painstakingly researched and written with novelistic immediacy, Wounded tells the full story of medical care in the war for the first time. But this is not just a book about the injured men and the medical personnel that treated them: their experience encapsulates what it was like to fight, live and die for four long years at the Western Front. Wounded is an important contribution to our understanding of the First World War.”Centenary News Review: “Wounded by Emily Mayhew is the kind of non-fiction that makes all other non-fiction look bad. It is compelling, thoughtful and well articulated in its exploration of the much overlooked role of the wounded in World War One.”
