Synopsis
It may seem paradoxical that the American Civil War and World War I, both of which witnessed slaughter on a previously unimaginable scale, should provoke such intense interest in soldiers' hearts. Yet, during and between these wars there was much discussion of a condition which incapacitated many thousands of otherwise healthy troops. This condition, characterised by chest pains, palpitations, breathlessness, fatigue, syncope and exercise intolerance, became known during 1860s as the irritable heart of soldiers. By the First World War the terminology had changed to soldier's heart, then to neurocirculatory asthenia. In this study, the author brings to bear his expertise as a historian, professor of medicine and a former soldier to analyse the condition and to trace the changing medical and social attitudes to it. By viewing the condition through the dual lenses of history and modern medical knowledge, this work provides a unique perspective on one of the pioneering areas of Anglo-American cardiology., It may seem paradoxical that the American Civil War and World War I, both of which witnessed slaughter on a previously unimaginable scale, should provoke such intense interest in soldiers' hearts.

This condition, characterised by chest pains, palpitations, breathlessness, fatigue, syncope and exercise intolerance, first became an issue in the American Civil War, where it incapacitated thousands of troops. In this study, the author brings to bear his expertise as a historian, professor of medicine and a former soldier to analyse the condition and to trace the changing medical and social attitudes to it. By viewing the condition through the dual lenses of history and modern medical knowledge, this work provides a unique perspective on one of the pioneering areas of Anglo-American cardiology.

    Excellent service!! Arrived before expected and in perfect condition, as described. Securely packaged, the best price on all WWW and a most valuable item to add in my collection. Warm and kind seller, always alert for anything I might need. And, I might say, a very nice detail on the Thank You note. Hope to do business with you again in the future to contribute to your welfare. Thanks for everything, my kind friend. Be well. :)

    First of all the seller wrapped the CD in a piece of cardboard so it wouldn't be damaged. This was awesome. No other seller has every done this before. (i.e. Amazon) I'm impressed. It was nice to receive the item well ahead of the date indicated initially. Again awesome. Finally, the CD is absolutely stunning with respect to the selections. Just love the music. I definitely would do business again with Ebay and the seller of this CD. This is my first experience with Ebay. Great.

I want to personally say thank you as I received record and album covers just as described and pictured. When you pay good money for an item, the customer expects what was described, so THANK YOU😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
