Civil War Medicine: Challenges and Triumphs

Bollett presents a history of how medical personnel on both sides of the Civil War met the challenges presented them. He contends that while standards were abysmal during the first year of the war, healthcare professionals quickly improved and were able to deliver excellent medical care. Coverage includes U.S. medical education in the 1860s; the establishment of an ambulance corps, a field hospital system and huge military hospitals; surgical innovations; epidemic diseases; and nuns as nurses.
