Despite significant interest from historians, we still know relatively little about how it was experienced, diagnosed, treated, and managed in the frontline trenches in the Canadian and British forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow did soldiers relate to suffering comrades? Did large numbers of shell shock cases affect the outcome of important battles? Was frontline psychiatric treatment as effective as many experts claimed after the war? Were Canadians treated any differently than other Commonwealth soldiers? \u003ci\u003eA Weary Road\u003c\/i\u003e is the first comprehensive study to address these important questions. Author Mark Osborne Humphries uses research from Canadian, British, and Australian archives, including hundreds of newly available hospital records and patient medical files, to provide a history of war trauma as it was experienced, treated, and managed by ordinary soldiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Osborne Humphries\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487525184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487525187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.20d","brand":"Mark Osborne Humphries","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073016230143,"sku":"9781487525187","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_da984a65-8dd2-44b6-9d11-5486ade12893.jpg?v=1685445305","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-weary-road-mark-osborne-humphries-9781487525187","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
