I was left humbled when I finished reading this book, which details the work of the renowned surgeon Archibald McINDOE, and his staff during the Second World War and beyond. We tend to focus on the deceased in remembrance events commemorating the two world wars and other conflicts, but this book reminds us that those who were wounded have a very real story to tell. Within the seven main chapters, there are so many stories of dedication, bravery and sheer doggedness from the doctors, nurses and patients.
All I can say about this book in conclusion is that it is one that everyone should read, whatever your views on war, military and social history. That there are two forewords, one from Prince Harry and the other by the Duke of Edinburgh should tell you everything you need to know about its contents. There are several photographs that tell their own story. Let me be honest, few books bring my emotions to the surface. This one did. I cried: as much for the uplifting narrative as the real horror of war. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. ( )
