This has been and engrossing book full of so much stuff. Details like John McCrae was a doctor before being a soldier and writing his famous Flanders Fields poem. He was interested in typhoid prevention and wanted his life work to be inoculating every one possible after the war. He saw how successful that could be but he did not live to carry out that dream.

Rescues in mud and chaos and inoculations and medical artifacts of bones saved - this is a wide ranging history of world war one in all its gory detail. Behind the scenes and behind the front line in all the desperate effort to save lives and fight off disease. Public health makes a big push forward during the continuing learning curves fresh off the bloody battles. The struggle to survive before, during and after.
