The Facemaker: A Visionary Surgeon's Battle to Mend the Disfigured Soldiers of World War I by Lindsey Fitzharris

emotional medium-paced

4.0

A really fascinating nonfiction book about the dawn of plastic surgery. It honestly made me think differently about the entire field. I think Fitzharris did a good job balancing the idea of this man being a true gamechanger in his field without painting him as an isolated genius who didn't need/want to rely on anyone. Gillies honestly just seemed like a really rad dude all around.
