Pokrywa Harry Lee & Edgar Jones: War and Health (PDF)
War and Health: Lessons from the Gulf War summarises
14 years of scientific and medical research into 'Gulf War
Syndrome’. It sets the record straight and promotes more
informed dialogue between public, media, politicians and medicine.
The book concludes that the syndrome has no causal basis and there
is no specific Gulf-related illness. Based on published findings
and the contributors’ own clinical experience, the book
explores both causality and outcomes. It describes the issues that
have promulgated the concept of 'Gulf War Syndrome’ and
looks at the historical background to post-combat disorders,
identifying common features and factors that shape their symptoms
and the explanations attached to them.

War and Health: Lessons from the Gulf War provides
primary care doctors, hospital physicians and medical students with
an up-to-date understanding of the scientific evidence and fills a
significant gap in the medical and psychiatric literature.
