Two photos of a very unusual book, published in 1937: "The Sexual History of the World War." One shows the book's title pages; the other shows the first page of a chapter on "The Eroticism of Nurses," including subsections such as "Sexual Curiosity of Nurses," "Nursing as Sex Outlet," "Strange Visits of Women to the Trenches," and "Reaction of Soldiers to Lusts of Nurses."

Cover of the book: The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook
