From the moment the first machine gun rang out over the Western Front, one thing was clear: mankind’s military technology had wildly surpassed its medical capabilities. Bodies were battered, gouged, hacked, and gassed. The First World War claimed millions of lives and left millions more wounded and disfigured. In the midst of this brutality, however, there were also those who strove to alleviate suffering. The Facemaker tells the extraordinary story of such an individual: the pioneering plastic surgeon Harold Gillies.

Great overview of the history of the advances in plastic surgery during World War I. Harold Gillies did some amazing things to reconstruct soldier’s faces. I was captivated during the entire book and enjoyed the side stories on the history of blood transfusions and the Spanish Flu. The audio performance was outstanding and the pdf with photos of the featured soldiers really enhanced the telling of this story.
