Title: Madness and the Military
Description: In this logical sequel to his Gallipoli: The Medical War (1993), Michael Tyquin deals with war neurosis or 'shell shock' as it was commonly called for many years after the First World War. In doing so he breaks new ground; the psychological casualties, the mental debris, of that war have been largely forgotten in ways and for reasons he explores and reveals.
