Battaglia di Waterloo

Description

Nei più celebri dipinti e descrizioni storiche di solito non si percepisce quale atrocità si sia svolta in quest'area durante la famosa battaglia del 1815. Nel suo libro Sapiens, Yuval Noah Harari descrive la situazione dopo la battaglia di Waterloo in modo molto esplicito da cui possiamo già avere un'idea dell'orrore dell'epoca: "Prima dell'arrivo del cloroformio, quattro soldati dovevano tenere a bada un compagno ferito mentre il medico amputava gli arti feriti. Subito dopo la Battaglia di Waterloo (1815), accanto agli ospedali da campo si potevano vedere cumuli di mani e gambe amputate. A quel tempo, i falegnami e i macellai che si univano all'esercito venivano spesso inviati al reparto medico, poiché la chirurgia richiedeva allora di solito solo la buona capacità di maneggiare coltelli e seghe."
