Battle Exhaustion introduces a new kind of military history that will transform existing views of the Canadian Army's experience during the Second World War. Terry Copp and Bill McAndrew examine the behaviour of soldiers under the extreme stress of war and the medical and military attempts to manage this behaviour. Unlike previous studies, Battle Exhaustion is based essentially on primary sources and includes sufficient comparative material to establish its applicability to studies of the British, American, and other armies.
