Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of an ill-fated expedition in 1780 against a fort in South America. The author, a doctor, analyzes the causes for the high mortality rates among the troops, which resulted from a combination of poor living conditions and the impact of disease. Intermittent fevers were a principal disease: while not deadly on their own, they frequently devolved into other severe and often fatal conditions, as the climate and disease combined in their effects on soldiers already weakened by the hardships they faced. The author details the history of the campaign, along with a general discussion of endemic diseases faced by soldiers in the West Indies, shedding light on the challenges faced by military forces in this period. The book remains significant in its exploration of the vital role that climate and disease can play in determining the outcome of military campaigns.
