Shell Shock Traumatic Neurosis and the British Soldiers of the Frist World War

To the British soldiers of the Great War who heard about it, "shell shock" was uncanny, amusing, and sad. To those who experienced it, the condition was shameful, unjustly stigmatized, and life-changing. The first full-length study of the British "shell shocked" soldiers of the Great War combines social and medical history to investigate the experience of psychological casualties on the Western Front, in hospitals, and through their postwar lives. It also investigates the condition's origin and consequences within British culture.Leese, Peter is the author of 'Shell Shock Traumatic Neurosis and the British Soldiers of the Frist World War' with ISBN 9780333969267 and ISBN 033396926X.
