The Textbooks of Military Medicine. An engrossing collection of pdf versions of textbooks used to train military medics. My favorite one is the one on War Psychiatry, which includes summaries of studies that have been done on veterans of WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, and another section on POWs and their phychiatric reactions (perhaps it might explain some things about Kerry or McCain?). Other topics include Medical Aspects of Harsh Environments (Vol. 1), Medical Aspects of Chemical and Biological Warfare, and Medical Consequences of Nuclear Warfare (<-- pdf file).

Thanks, this is good stuff. I'd be interested to see some WWII and Korea era texts and compare them to the "modern" ones. Medical Consequences of Nuclear Warfare (1989) - Addresses the increasingly important medical challenges of the consequences and management of radiation injuries. That just sort of grabs you, doesn't it?

perhaps it might explain some things about Kerry or McCain? Like what, for instance?
