Product Description
Review
Harrison's writing about the fighting is gripping and the importance of medical developments is deftly interwoven with the wider campaigns. The book succeeds in throwing light, not just on the history of medicine during the Second World War, but also on the dual focus of health and medicine - the rise of high tech medicine and the transformation of social medicine - during the immediate post war years. (Virginia Berridge, Twentieth Century British History )
a fascinating study,.. essential reading for historians of the Second World War (Ian F. W. Beckett, Social History of Medicine )
an important and archivally well-grounded study. (Jeremy Black, Social Affairs Unit )
