Used Book in Good Condition
Without knowing you, I would highly suggest Michael Stephenson's The Last Full Measure: How Soldiers Die in Battle.
The short answer is yes, history is replete with mass murders using clubbing instruments, often with creative embellishments designed to pierce, pummel, and bludgeon. It's a tremendously good book full of somewhat-morbid facts: for example, knights were very frequently mortally wounded by being stabbed in the taint.
There are also two really good books on this topic that I've found. The first is a really intricate look at the British medical corps, The Medical War. The second is an easier read that breaks down the causes of death and measures taken to save soldiers, The Last Full Measure.
