Wounded: A New History of the Western Front in World War IThe number of soldiers wounded in World War I is, in itself, devastating: over 21 million military wounded, and nearly 10 million killed. On the battlefield, the injuries were shocking, unlike anything those in the medical field had ever witnessed. The bullets hit fast and hard, went deep and took bits of dirty uniform and airborne soil particles in with them. Soldier after soldier came in with the most dreaded kinds of casualty: awful, deep, ragged
The number of soldiers wounded in World War I is, in itself, devastating: over 21 million military wounded, and nearly 10 million killed. On the battlefield, the injuries were shocking, unlike anything those in the medical field had ever witnessed. The bullets hit fast and hard, went deep and took bits of dirty uniform and airborne soil particles in with them. Soldier after soldier came in with the most dreaded kinds of casualty: awful, deep, ragged wounds to their heads, faces and abdomens. And yet the medical personnel faced with these unimaginable injuries adapted with amazing aptitude, thinking and reacting on their feet to save millions of lives.In Wounded, Emily Mayhew tells the history of the Western Front from a new perspective: the medical network that arose seemingly overnight to help sick and injured soldiers. These men and women pulled injured troops from the hellscape of trench, shell crater, and no man's land, transported them to the rear, and treated them for everything from foot rot to poison gas, venereal disease to traumatic amputation from exploding shells. Drawing on hundreds of letters and diary entries, Mayhew allows readers to peer over the shoulder of the stretcher bearer who jumped into a trench and tried unsuccessfully to get a tightly packed line of soldiers out of the way, only to find that they were all dead. She takes us into dugouts where rescue teams awoke to dirt thrown on their faces by scores of terrified moles, digging frantically to escape the earth-shaking shellfire. Mayhew moves her account along the route followed by wounded men, from stretcher to aid station, from jolting ambulance to crowded operating tent, from railway station to the ship home, exploring actual cases of casualties who recorded their experiences.
Both comprehensive and intimate, this groundbreaking book captures an often neglected aspect of the soldier's world and a transformative moment in military and medical history.

Gorgeous And Well Made Bag. But Strap Should Allow Some Adjustment
Size: One Size, Color: Hickory Bark Suede, Size: One Size, Color: Hickory Bark Suede
As expected with the premium brand name, this is a high quality leather handbag. In the "Hickory Bark" color, the outer leather is a warm colored medium tan suede which gives the bag a nice western feel. It also feels perfect for autumn. The exterior zipper is a gold toned metal. The inner lining is a light tan color that appears to be a cotton/poly blend with a fine canvas texture. The interior has one zipper pocket and one patch pocket trimmed in leather. This is a medium size bag measuring 14" x 7". The interior of this bag with the 2 pockets, feels spacious, but the bag is structured, so you cannot overstuff it. The strap is also stitched leather and is 1/2 inch wide with a decorative loop on one side. The quality of this bag is evident with the metal exterior zipper, continuous even stitches on all seams and high quality materials throughout. The bag also arrives with a satin Kate Spade storage bag. The only real drawback to this bag is that measuring just 16 inches the shoulder strap is relatively short. I had hoped the "loop" would enable some adjustment, but that is purely decorative. The styling of the bag lends itself to being a shoulder bag, however the bag rides up quite high under your arm when worn on the shoulder. The strap length is perfect when using it as a handbag. The strap is sewn on at the attachment points so there isn't really an option to switch it. I think at this price point, and adjustable strap should have been part of the design.
