Klappentext zu „Man and Wound in the Ancient World: A History of Military Medicine from Sumer to the Fall of Constantinople “
Wounds and disease were as devastating on the battlefields of the ancient world as they are today. In an age of bloody combat, how did physicians and medics cope with arrow injuries, spear and sword gashes, dysentery, and infection without the benefits of anesthesia or modern medical technology? In this fascinating volume, Richard A. Gabriel explores the long-hidden world of ancient military medicine to reveal its surprisingly sophisticated body of knowledge, practice, and technique. Ranging broadly from the deserts of Egypt and North Africa, across the plains of India and Persia, to the mountains of Europe and Asia, this book examines medical history from the Bronze Age through the Middle Ages. Comprehensive, thoughtful, graphic, and always accessible, this book will be welcomed by historians and students alike.

Rezension zu „Man and Wound in the Ancient World: A History of Military Medicine from Sumer to the Fall of Constantinople “
"The study of ancient military medicine is vital to an understanding of the broader aspects and development of warfare in antiquity. Yet it is an area that has often been neglected by scholars. "Man and Wound in the Ancient World" addresses this deficit in a truly comprehensive and interesting manner. Richard Gabriel s latest book is destined to be the defining work in an area of great importance for the study of ancient military history and will fascinate historians and general readers alike." C. A. Matthew, Macquarie University, Australia
