| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "The Backwash of War" by Ellen N. La Motte is a collection of poignant sketches and observations written in the early 20th century. The book gives a firsthand account of the grim realities faced by military hospital nurses during World War I, focusing on the human toll of warfare and the psychological struggles of those caught in its wake. Through the experiences of a hospital nurse in a field hospital behind the front lines in Belgium, the work explores themes of heroism, despair, and the often unnoticed suffering that accompanies battle. At the start of the book, La Motte introduces the bleak atmosphere of a military field hospital, outlining the monotony mixed with moments of chaos that characterize the life there. The opening sketch portrays the harrowing experience of a wounded soldier who attempted suicide after being captured as a deserter. The narrative delves into the complexities of military life, reflecting on the attitudes of both the medical staff and the soldiers as they confront the futility and madness of war. The nurse's reflections prompt deep questions about ideals, courage, and the definition of heroism amid the carnage, capturing the heart-wrenching reality of those left to manage the aftermath—the "backwash"—of warfare, where the true human cost is laid bare.
