<p>Journal of the History of Medicine, June 2010<p> Care of the Amputee is another hefty multiauthored clinical work in the Textbooks of Military Medicine (TMM) series published by the Borden Institute since 1989. Care of the Amputee is the most recent work published in the TMM series reflects this pattern and format because the care of soldiers who are now amputees is a major medical concern due to the prevalence of IEDs in current combat situations and damage they inflict. . . . Chapter 2 of this volume specifically addresses the history of the American amputee care from the Civil War through the First and Second World Wars, Korea and Vietnam, and current conflicts. <p>
