Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. In this book, the author describes a paradigm shift in the approach to rehabilitating those disabled during war. This shift moved away from charity and towards a recognition of an obligation to restore disabled soldiers and sailors to their pre-war status as far as possible. The book explains that what is now conceived of as social justice for the war-disabled in fact represents an enlightened social policy of conserving human capital, since most war-related disabilities are not total, but rather special and relative to certain occupations or tasks. The author explores the numerous practical initiatives undertaken by the United States, and other belligerent nations, towards rehabilitation, from the provision of artificial limbs to vocational retraining. The book is significant as it represents a thorough exploration of the ongoing evolution of rehabilitation policy from its origins as a compassionate reaction to the ravages of The Great War towards an understanding of rehabilitation as a social obligation rooted in preserving human potential.
