Recycling the disabled: Army, medicine, and modernity in WWI Germany examines the 'medical organisation' of Imperial Germany
for total war. Faced with mounting casualties and a growing labour shortage, German military, industrial, and governmental
officials turned to medical experts for assistance in the total mobilisation of society. Through an investigation of developments
in orthopaedic medicine, prosthetic technology, military medical organisation and the cultural history of disability, Heather
Perry reveals how the pressures of modern industrial warfare not only transformed medical ideas and treatments for injured
soldiers, but also transformed social and cultural expectations of the disabled body - expectations that long outlasted the
war.
