This is a very quick read. The chapters are short. The book is divided into sections: Major innovations, first surgical operations, and famous patients. Mr. Ellis' descriptions are embellished with his own biases and opinions which make the book more enjoyable to read. A must for anyone interested in the history of surgery.
