Review of Shell shock and its aftermath

Abstract

Reviews the book, Shell shock and its aftermath by Norman Fenton (1926). Dr. Fenton's recent book entitled, "Shell Shock and Its Aftermath", is a valuable contribution to the subject of the war neuroses. Dr. Fenton was one of the few men m the position to gather up all the facts pertaining to this medical-military problem and, with his first-hand information, as well as his keen psychological insight, humanize this data and compile it with statistical accuracy. He has put in a hundred and sixty-seven pages what many authors might well have expanded to one thousand, yet, in being concise, he has, in no way, sacrificed clarity.
