Abstract

Although the days when historians could be content to describe war largely in terms of battles 'won' or 'lost' (and medical historians to repeat the maxim that 'war is good for medicine') have long gone, the topic remains a favourite for authors and researchers. The 2003 conference season brought a rich crop of events, selectively reviewed here, with war either as the overall theme or as the subject of panel sessions and individual papers, approaching it from an impressive variety of different angles and analysing it in thoughtful and thought-provoking ways.
