Editorial Reviews

Booknews
Bourke (economics and social history, Birbeck College, U. of London) draws on letters, diaries, and oral histories of members of the military and civilians to explore the impact of WWI on the male body. She looks at different perceptions of those wounded in war and those suffering from disease, the way in which the war affected men socially, and attitudes to the dead male body. Includes b&w photos and illustrations. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
