BROWN, Kevin. Fittest of the Fit: Health and Morale in the Royal Navy, 1939-1945. xi, 276p., bibliog., illus., index. Barnsley: Seaforth, 2019. ISBN: 9781526734273.

This very good history of the Medical Branch is focussed on public and occupational health issues rather than the treatment of casualties. Ships, and especially submarines, were unhealthy spaces and major concerns were then the treatment of illnesses as varied as tuberculosis, mental health and venereal disease. A fascinating study.
