This was a great book, and the only complaint I have about it is that it restricted itself mainly to what happened on the American continent and only on the United States. The research was very thorough. The book covered what happened when people first started arriving in America to both them and the Native American Indians. I don't think this was ever mentioned in the history books that I read in school...that basically we won the nation due to the fact we made Native Americans very sick first...and decimated their population. It covers all of the major American wars. I especially didn't know as much concerning the French and Indian Wars, or the Revolutionary War and how disease impacted the outcomes of these wars. I knew more about what happened during the Civil War because we lived very near a home used in the Civil War in Pennsylvania, and I often went to their Civil War days. They always had a medical kits and the embalmers, instruments that were used back then. It's actually kind of amazing that so many men did survive the Civil Wars with horrendous injuries...but it is important to remember that that disease did more killing during this war, than in the future ones.The book went into WWI and WWII, and Korea and Vietnam. I was a bit disappointed in the later wars...I think more could have been supplied about the later wars. In fact, I didn't see very much information about the Hantavirus which was a problem over in Korea, and is a current problem in the four corners area of the US. Even though disease has quit being the primary source of death during the wars, it is important to know about the problems with the current vaccines our military are required to take, and exposure to garbage smoke when they have large burns in places like Iraqu and Afghanistan, because these vaccines and exposures are causing so many autoimmune system problems. And definitely more could have been shared about Agent Orange in Vietnam.This is a good first book in the topic, and I definitely would be interested in another book from Petriello on perhaps European wars.
A well researched dissertation!!!
Just what needed, excellent book. Delivered on-time!
Just one of the best books I've read on the subject. One book that's hard to put down. I highly recommend it.
Great book very well written.
A summary of the review on StrategyPage.Com'American military historian Petriello looks at the role of disease in American military history. He opens by reminding us that evidence from both the archaeological record and even Native American oral tradition indicates the presence of epidemic diseases in the Americas before the Columbian exchange. He goes on to discuss how “Old World†diseases played an important, if unintended role, in the European conquest of the Americas, and then focuses increasingly on the influence of disease on English settlement, the beginnings of the United States, and its wars from the Patriot victory in the Revolution, won in part due to the introduction of inoculation, through to the present operations in the Middle East. Petriello at time makes some interesting observations by noting, for example, instances in which a particular commander was laid low at a critical moment, or not taken ill despite epidemic conditions, which arguably influenced the course of events in ways we can but speculate about. Although the topic of disease and its influence on history has been dealt with before, this is a very good, entertaining and thoughtful work.'For the full review, see StrategyPage.Com
Putting 400 years of history in under 300 pages is a daunting task. Doing a readable history on this subject is an equally daunting task. The good news is the author is able to accomplish both, producing an informative, enjoyable and readable history. For most of history, disease was a greater danger than combat for soldiers. Generals try to plan their campaigns around fever seasons as doctors can do little more than watch men die.This is both a history of how disease shaped America’s wars and how we worked to conquer disease. This is a balanced historical account without lurid accusations or speculations. The author is always careful to point out the reasonable causes and impacts. The decimation of Native Americans is a result of two very different cultures meeting, not deliberate action. However, this did make settlement of the “New World†easier or even possible.The majority of the text, about 80%, covers through World War I. The balance looks at World War II and modern day problems. The book is full of historical tidbits that are interesting and thought provoking. Many problems result from tainted food, bad water or poor sanitation. An inaugural dinner party that almost killed the President, German agents trying to kill horses in 1916 for example.This is a serious history with endnotes, bibliography and a full index.Illustrations abound from woodcuts to photographs.This well-made handsome book is a pleasure to hold and to read.
Amazing book. It kept me reading for hours. I recommend for anyone who enjoys history.
