This complete four-volume set of the Medical Series from "Australia in the War of 1939-1945" presents Allan S. Walker's official history of Australian military medicine during the Second World War, published by the Australian War Memorial. As a work of official military history, the series chronicles the treatment of illness and injury among Australian forces, opening with "Clinical Problems of War," which details the diseases and physiological stresses that shaped frontline and hospital practice. "Middle East and Far East" and "The Island Campaigns" trace the medical corps through the major theatres of Australia's war effort, from the desert campaigns to the jungle fighting of the South-West Pacific, while "Medical Services of the R.A.N. and R.A.A.F." rounds out the set by covering naval and air force medicine alongside the contribution of women in the Army Medical Services. Walker, himself a physician and lieutenant colonel who took over the project after the death of Rupert Downes, argues for the medical corps' central role in sustaining the fighting capacity of the Australian forces. Bound in maroon cloth with gilt titling, this set stands as an essential primary reference for historians of Australian military and medical history. I. Clinical Problems of War. By Allan S.
