Reader Reviews
Knowing my great interest in The US Civil War and Civil war medicine I was given this book by my brother and thought it just another title to add to the stack I already had on the subject. How wrong could I be! `Illustrated` was certainly the description for Dr Schaadt`s enlightening book. Suddenly a light went on and after reading at least a half dozen books, including old standards like Doctors in Blue, at last, I have found one that you don`t have to be a surgeon or a statistician to understand. The writing is lucid, the drawings fascenating and one can view the photographs without the use of a microscope. Unlike the photos in other Civil War medicine books they actually show the instruments almost lifesize. It gives a real feel as to how it must have been to actually hold what must have appeared to the patients as instruments of torture. Questions I have often asked after reading other books have here been answered and answered so simply. For the reader merely interested in this aspect of the Civil War or for the serious Civil War student I would highly recommend Dr Schaadt`s book over all others currently available. His great respect for the surgeons who risked their lives and their health is evident on every page, and I challenge any reader not to share that respect by the time they have reached the final page. Indeed in the prologue we learn of a civil war surgeon who died on the battlefield at Shiloh while tending the wounded. At the back of the book we read that the author is practising Emergency Medicine in Illinois, it is not difficult therefore to imagine Dr Schaadt himself wearing the insignia of an army surgeon and saving lives on a 19th Century battlefield. Well done. I only hope this book gets the readership it deserves.
