Description

You hate to think that war is what drives technology, but it does. Even Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, recognized this fact nearly two thousand years ago when he said: “If you want to study medicine, go to war.” Throughout history, the motivation to create functional replacement limbs has grown in parallel with the number of living amputees, whose ranks swelled following periods of warfare. This book follows the development of prosthetic limbs from the Revolutionary War to the Afghanistan and Iraq Conflicts. It also tells how you can help wounded warriors with their struggle for independence.
