- Double-weighted statement
- This book makes use of in-depth and extended research in multiple archives in four countries and three languages. It brings together an immense wealth of material from military, political, imperial, and medical archival records alongside published sources to provide new approaches to the history of war and the history of medicine. The book provides a complex argument about pragmatic and humanitarian approaches to manpower during the eighteenth century, outlining a global scope to the history of the Seven Years War while also establishing a new methodology for assessing and understanding disease in the past.
