Fascinating and well researched.I did not know anything about plastic surgery and knew very little about World War I. This book brought the personal stories to life, from the soldiers, doctors and nurses to the artists and sculptors who helped reconstruct faces and lives.
There’s even a cameo by Marie curie. Well worth the read

This was a great book. An overview of Lister's life focusing primarily on how he developed his antiseptic processes and how they were received. The author pulls out all the stops in emphasizing just how blood, pus and feces filled the era was. Lister emerges as a modest champion and lifesaver and I especially liked the glimpses of his relationship with Pasteur.

A brilliant, very well written exploration of Sir Harold Gillies life during the First World War as a military surgeon, and in particular as a military plastic surgeon. This is a story of a speciality in its childhood, and the foreword thinking pioneers who made things happen, developed techniques and established a centre for excellence, just outside London, in the Kent countryside. Also a tale of how, with team spirit, virtually any obstacle can be overcome. A triumph.
