Gabriel, R: Man and Wound in the Ancient World A History of Military Medicine from Sumer to the Fall of Constantinople

"The study of ancient military medicine is vital to an understanding of the broader aspects and development of warfare in antiquity. Yet it is an area that has often been neglected by scholars. "Man and Wound in the Ancient World" addresses this deficit in a truly comprehensive and interesting manner. Richard Gabriel s latest book is destined to be the defining work in an area of great importance for the study of ancient military history and will fascinate historians and general readers alike." C.
