The emergence of early modern military health care in Europe

This volume demonstrates novel ways to study military health care in Europe from the 1660s to the 1830s. The book uses a sociocultural mode to scrutinize the impact of values, habits and behaviour on the quality and effectiveness of military health care. It looks beyond the battlefield and considers the consequences of war for societies, while presenting female and male perspectives. The book explores individual performance and achievements of actors active in civil service, and examines the duality of informal and formal systems of military health care related to their impact on health and recovery. It improves our understanding of early modern military welfare and the emergence of public health.

Dr Sabine Jesner is a military and medical historian and a researcher at the Institute of Military History / Museum of Military History in Vienna.

Matthew Neufeld is an Associate Professor of History at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada.
