The author said her goal was to inform the reader without overwhelming them with information and I would say she nailed it. I learned so much from this book, but never felt it was going on too long or getting lost in tangents.

A very interesting account into plastic surgery during the forst world war. However, the book contains a lot of graphic injury detail and battlefield descriptions, which might not be for everyone.
