520 8 |a 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.

The book takes case studies ranging from the American Civil War to the Vietnam War from the US, Britain, France, Germany, and the USSR.
