'As with all Helmstadter’s work, this book is written in accessible language but is supported by exemplary scholarship and has much to recommend it to those interested in this subject.' The UK Association for the History of Nursing '[…] an outstandingly trenchant analysis of the topic, and a highly revealing window into the world of battlefield nursing on the cusp of its modern iteration. For historians of nursing and medicine, as well as for those interested in Victorian (women's) history - not to mention the perpetually fascinating character of Florence Nightingale herself - this book is required reading and represents the most up to date work extant in the field.'

It is a must for anyone interested in early history of nursing, history of military nursing, and history of the Crimean War. Bulletin of the History of Medicine -- .
