Providing for the Casualties of War The American Experience Since World War II

War has always been a dangerous business, bringing injury, wounds, and death, and--until recently--often disease. What has changed over time, most dramatically in the last 150 or so years, is the care these casualties receive and who provides it. This book, the second in a series that looks at how America has cared for its war casualties and veterans, begins just before the start of the Korean War and continues through today.
