A look at how PTSD (or shell-shock, if you like) is treated during WWI. This is so interesting b/c it delves into subjects that are often quite touchy: mental health, toxic masculinity, treatment of women, the realities of war. It does so in such an introspective, tender way. The agony of a war doctor, to treat his patients simply to send them back into the machine that chewed them up & spit them out in the first place. 221/1,001 #1001Books
