- This is a research monograph and a “longer-form output”, totalling 672 pages and approx 240K words. The book was researched over ten years thanks to a Wellcome Trust project grant. It is based on unedited state and private papers located in German, Belgian, UK and US archives and draws on a unique body of (declassified) sources from Allied government agencies, including court documents, scientific notebooks, trial records, images, films, and interview transcripts with former ‘volunteers’. The book explores the evolving field of military medical ethics by exploring continuity and change in the understanding and application of military medicine and science.
