From the Publisher

The science and grisly history of U.S. Civil War medicine...

Blood and Germs, Civil War Injuries

Publishers Weekly

“Drawing from extensive archival sources, Jarrow... packs her pages with profiles of little-known heroes, such as Alexander Augusta, the first Black doctor to become a commissioned surgeon in the Union Army, and military doctor Mary Walker, the only woman to ever receive the Congressional Medal of Honor.”

Booklist

“Although the concern with viruses is now ever-present, Jarrow shows in this well-documented informational book how germs and disease also shaped the Civil War... A time line and extensive online resources complete this masterful look at early medicine.”

Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Highlighting primary topics in a series of brief chapters, it follows soldiers through the typical responses to being wounded (or falling ill), from frontline interventions through field hospitals, then, via torturous ambulance journeys, to immense pavilion hospitals that both Union and Confederate sides were forced to establish.
