Volume 1" by R. Desgenettes is a scientific publication written in the early 19th century. This work offers a detailed account of the medical conditions and challenges faced by the French army during its campaign in Egypt, particularly focusing on the various diseases that afflicted the troops and the responses of military medical professionals. It is a critical exploration of how health and medicine adapted within a wartime context. The opening portion of this volume introduces the author's initial report to the council of army health regarding preparations for a military expedition to Egypt. Desgenettes details his journey, the establishment of necessary medical infrastructure, and the organization of personnel and resources. He highlights the collaboration with medical institutions and provides insight into the operational difficulties encountered, such as the challenges of staffing and the immediate health concerns posed by tropical diseases. Throughout this preliminary section, the focus remains on the urgency of addressing the evolving medical needs of the army as it prepares for deployment in an unfamiliar and potentially hazardous environment.
