Description
Shell Shock: Treatment and Recovery in Britain 1914-30 by Fiona Reid explores the complex history of shell shock during World War I. In this period, the government's response to the condition was marked by conflicting rhetoric and inadequate support for those affected. The tension between official attitudes towards shell shock and the lived experiences of veterans is a central theme of the book. The author examines how the government's efforts to manage public perception of the condition were often at odds with its treatment of those who suffered from it. This study sheds light on a pivotal moment in British history, when the stigma surrounding mental illness was beginning to be challenged, but the reality of recovery and support for veterans remained a pressing concern.
