In the latest Good Authority podcast, I talked with University of Minnesota professor Tanisha Fazal about her new book, Military Medicine and the Hidden Costs of War (Oxford University Press, 2024). The book documents how major changes in military medicine have dramatically reduced American fatalities in the wars fought by the United States. This is obviously great news. However, it also leads the U.S. to dramatically underestimate the costs of war.

For those who believe that might should not make right, the world today seems to offer little hope. Russia is still trying to seize territory from Ukraine in its illegal war of conquest, and U.S. support for Kyiv appears to be waning. China is asserting ownership of international waters. In the Middle East, Hamas murdered some 1,200 people in its October 7 attack on Israel, and Israel’s response has destroyed hospitals and killed tens of thousands of civilians.

Once upon a time, a wound as simple as a scratch could lead to death. Many of incredible advances in medicine and medical care since were driven by the exigencies of war. Tanisha Fazal has conducted a fascinating study that examines the relationship between military medicine and military effectiveness in interstate wars globally since 1900. She's in the studio with podcast editor Ron Granieri to discuss the outcomes of the study and the methodology her team used to arrive at their conclusions.
