This represents the first major history of British medicine during the Second World War. It shows how medicine gave the British a crucial edge in several theatres, by preventing losses from disease and returning the sick and wounded to active service. Drawing on a wide range of official and non-official sources, the book examines medical work in all the main theatres of the war, from the front line to the base hospital. - ;Medicine and Victory is the first comprehensive account of British military medicine in the Second World War since the publication of the official history in the early 1950s
