Fascinating bit of history and a good read. Not a huge book, but has some interesting etchings of the initial attempts at transfusion.

Format:Hardcover
I thought this was a good book generally, until the chapter titled "The Great Debate." This fictional conference has no place in a non-fiction work. Until this point in the book, the references were presented as citations. On a separate note, the phonetic inclusion of Willis' stutter was unnecessary.
