Disease and Empire: The Health of European Troops in the Conquest of Africa Paperback - 1998
by Philip D. Curtin
From 1815 to 1914, death rates of European soldiers in barracks dropped by nearly ninety percent. But soldiers on campaign, especially in the tropics, continued to die from disease. This book examines the practice of military medicine during the conquest of Africa in the late 1800s--and how doctors' successes and failures influenced one way or another the willingness of Europeans to embark on imperial adventures.
