First published in 1945 this early groundbreaking account of the psychological effects of war recounted by means of vivid first-hand observation and anecdote came at a time when shell-shock was equated with lack of moral fibre. In 1940 Moran became Churchills doctor and his position as a one of historys most important war physicians was secured. His humane considered observations scientific analysis and proposed solutions constitute one of the great First World War sources. However they are perhaps just as relevant to our own conflict-ridden
times. Charles McMoran Wilson was awarded the MC during the Battle of the Somme and the Italian Silver Medal for Military Valour. He was the Dean of St Marys Hospital Medical School became Winston Churchills doctor in 1940 and was President of the Royal College of Physicians.
