Definición

  • The horrific high-tech weapons of 20th-century warfare give deadly meaning to Russian surgeon Nikolai Pirogov's defini-tion of war as an epidemic of trauma. However, 18th and 19th century wars might more accurately be described as epidemics of disease. [Source: Encyclopedia of War & American Society; Medicine and War]
