The First World War and Health: Rethinking Resilience aims to broaden the scope of resilience by looking at it from military, medical, personal and societal perspectives. The authors ask how war influenced the health both physically and psychologically of those fighting and attending the wounded, as well as the general health of the community of which they were part.
