Descripción
Sumario:This book looks at the boundary of military history and disability history. Rather than looking at veterans, it looks at case studies of how armies have defined standard and substandard, and have utilized `substandard' personnel. Standard has both physical and cultural components; both change depending on the period and the nation, and change during wars as manpower becomes scarce. The book takes case studies ranging from the American Civil War to the Vietnam War from the US, Britain, France, Germany, and the USSR.
