“Primarily of value to physicians and army surgeons, the book is interesting even to the layman in its dramatic accounts of the soldiers who were victims of shell-shock.”

“Dr Southard presents his ideas not only with the thoroughness of the medical expert and scholar but with a certain humor and pungency, general literary culture and full appreciation of the relations of the subject to military service, and, incidentally, to everyday life.”
