Description
This book tells the story of Harold Gillies, a pioneering plastic surgeon during the First World War. As soldiers returned from the front with severe facial injuries, Gillies dedicated his career to reconstructing their faces and helping them regain their identities. His innovative techniques laid the groundwork for modern plastic surgery. The narrative explores the challenges faced by disfigured veterans in society and highlights Gillies' significant contributions to medicine and humanitarian work amidst the horrors of war.
