Reviews

Easing Pain on the Western Front provides an important contribution to scholarship on nurses and war. Moving beyond exploration of why nurses might serve in the military during wartime, Stepansky provides an historically informed examination of nurses' actual wartime practices. In the case of WWI, these practices changed the experience of wounded soldiers, in no small measure through nurses' skilled use of the cutting-edge technologies of the time-technologies that contributed to the transformation of American nursing in the decades following the Great War. -Patricia D'Antonio, PhD, RN, FAAN, Carol E. Ware Professor in Mental Health Nursing, Director, Barbara Bates Center for the Study of the History of Nursing
