I read to do a published book review of it - when it gets published, I'll cross link it

Although it's arbitrary to assert modern medicine as the by-product of western colonization, it is an interesting direction to connect the dots. Starting from trade to colonies to ongoing decoloniality, the book attempts to discuss medical development through the lens of global history. The chapters on plants import to Europe and military health are quite interesting as they protrude to today's medical development. The chapter on invented Chinese Traditional Medicine is especially intriguing as the cause was an attempt to "decolonial". Overall a great work as a starting point to historical medical studies.
