The Dregs of War: Human Dismemberment on the Battlefield as Witnessed by an American Nurse in a Hospital is a book written by American nurse Ellen Newbold La Motte. In her work, she openly reveals the terrible consequences of war and perceives them through the prism of her own observations while helping the wounded in the hospital. The book is strikingly honest in its description of the dire conditions on the front lines and the sense of powerlessness in the face of suffering and death. The authenticity of the events and the deep sympathy for the victims make this book an important testimony about the horrors of war and its effect on people. "The Waste of War" is not only a literary masterpiece, but also a document that remembers the tragic consequences of conflicts and provides a deep understanding of the meaning of peace and dignity.
