Ciara’s Reviews > Surgeon at War: The Second World War Seen From Operating Tables Behind the Front Line > Status Update

"Memory brings to the fore times of great happiness that still live vividly in the mind. It was the war that brought them about and when it ended, perhaps these recollections should have faded, but instead they refuse to be forgotten."

"Every night [in London] brought the intermittent, pulsating drone of enemy bombers overhead, masses packed into the Underground stations..." "...And yet life and love went on."

A profound account of surgeons at war with a humour which truly expresses the joy one can embrace in the midst of an uncertain future and horror.
