Opis

The forgotten history of Russian disabled veterans' political struggle for equal rights, specialised care, education and adapted work.

Recenzje

'Sumpf's study brings together a large body of material from Russian archives that would be inaccessible to most scholars due to language barriers as well as politics. This is one of the great contributions of his work … This book is also valuable as part of a comparative study on how nations interact with wounded soldiers.' John Casey, H-Disability
