  This is the first and only comprehensive account of the crucial role played by British Army doctors in the Napoleonic Wars. Wellington himself was the first British general to praise doctors in dispatches but the medical contributions to these British campaigns has been largely overlooked until now. This definitive book, drawing on rare first-hand sources, fills a large gap in the social and military history of the period.
