Summary

"Battle Medics" explores the evolution and profound impact of battlefield medicine, highlighting the critical role of combat medics from ancient times to modern conflicts. It examines how medical innovations born out of wartime necessity have not only saved lives on the front lines but have also transformed civilian trauma care. For instance, techniques refined during the American Civil War, such as advancements in amputation, significantly shaped surgical practices. The book delves into the lifesaving techniques employed by medics, from basic first aid to advanced surgical interventions under austere conditions, revealing the immense pressure and quick thinking required. It also confronts the ethical dilemmas faced by these medical personnel, such as prioritizing care amidst chaos and the psychological toll of constant exposure to trauma. By examining specific conflicts and drawing upon primary source accounts, "Battle Medics" demonstrates how battlefield innovations often translate to civilian settings, enhancing emergency response and overall medical practices.

 
Structured to provide a comprehensive overview, the book progresses from the historical roots of battlefield medicine to modern conflicts like Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, showcasing the increasing reliance on technology and telemedicine. It concludes by considering the future implications of robotics and artificial intelligence in combat casualty care, making it a valuable resource for those interested in military history, medical advancements, and the intersection of war and medicine.

    The author of Battle for Paris 1815 examines the uniforms and equipment of the infantry of Napoleon’s Imperial Guard.   From its origins as the Consular Guard of the French Republic, and as Napoleon’s personal bodyguard, the Imperial Guard developed into a force of all arms numbering almost 100,000 men. Used by Napoleon as his principal tactical reserve, the Guard was engaged only sparingly, being deployed at the crucial moment of battle to turn the tide of victory in favor of the Emperor of the French.   Naturally, the Imperial Guard has been the subject of numerous books over many decades, yet there has never been a publication that has investigated the uniforms and equipment of the infantry of the Imperial Guard with such detail and precision. The author has collected copies of almost all the surviving documents relating to the Guard, which includes a vast amount of material regarding the issuing of dress items, in some instances down to company level.   This information is supported by an unrivaled collection of illustrations, many of which have never been published before, as well as images of original items of equipment held in museums and private collections across the globe. In addition, the renowned military artist, Keith Rocco, has produced a series of unique paintings commissioned exclusively for this book.   This glorious book is, and will remain, unsurpassed as the standard work on the clothing and equipment of the Imperial Guard, and will not only be invaluable to historians, but also reenactors, wargamers and modelers. It is one of the most important publications ever produced on this most famous of military formations.

    The Vanished Collection

    It all started with a list of paintings. There, scribbled by a cousin she hadn't seen for years, were the names of the masters whose works once belonged to her great-grandfather, Jules Strauss: Renoir, Monet, Degas, Tiepolo, and more. Pauline Baer de Perignon knew little to nothing about Strauss, or about his vanished precious art collection. But the list drove her on a frenzied trail of research in the archives of the Louvre and the Dresden museums, through Gestapo records, and to consult with Nobel laureate Patrick Modiano. What happened in 1942? And what became of the collection after Nazis seized her great-grandparents’ elegant Parisian apartment? The quest takes Pauline Baer de Perignon from the Occupation of France to the present day as she breaks the silence around the wrenching experiences her family never fully transmitted and asks what art itself is capable of conveying over time.
