High Command: British Military Leadership in the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars
** Includes a New Postcript 'The Chilcot Report―Early Thoughts on Military Matters'** From 2001 Britain supported the United States in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Chapter 4 'Now, back to our Virchow': German Medical and Political Traditions…
When the war was over in 1945, Germany was a country with no government, little functioning infrastructure, millions of refugees and homeless people, and huge foreign armies living largely off the land. Large parts of the country were covered in rubble, with no clean drinking water, electricity, or gas. Hospitals overflowed with patients, but were short of beds, medicines, and medical personnel…

Armed Batavians
Using a life-cycle model for Roman soldiers, Johan Nicolay interprets the large quantity of first-century finds as personal memorabilia brought home by ex-soldiers as a reminder of their twenty-five years of service and a symbol of their newly-acquired veteran status. Underpinning Nicolay's research is an extensive inventory of militaria from urban centers, rural settlements, rivers, and graves…
