Military Casualty and Statistical Data Associated with Wars, a Two-Part Bibliography,

Abstract

This bibliography presents chronological data on casualties of war and military statistics. Arrangement is in two parts. Part one deals with casualties as a result of war for conflicts dating from the French wars of 1614 through the Vietnam War concluded in 1975. There is little agreement on how to collect casualty data due to the problems of reporting methods, lack of consensus, or purpose for which accumulated particularly when different countries are involved. Military casualties are those losses which incapacitate an individual from performing normal duties and are caused by death, wounds, capture, discharge, desertion, illness, accident, suicide, murder, execution, among others, as they occur on or in support of the field of battle. This bibliography represents specific titles selected from the holdings of the Morris Swett Library. Materials of a general nature are not cited due to the wide variance in totals reported.
