Medicine and Victory shows how medicine gave the British a crucial edge in several theatres of the war, by preventing losses from disease and returning the sick and wounded to active service. Drawing on a wide range of sources, the book examines medical work in all the main theatres of the war, from the front line to the base hospital.

Ian F. W. Beckett, Social History of Medicine a fascinating study,.. essential reading for historians of the Second World War

Jeremy Black, Social Affairs Unit an important and archivally well-grounded study.

David J. Caruso, Journal of the History of Medicine. A well researched and argued history...that provides a compelling story... A particularly significant text - the first, aside from official histories, to provide a comprehensive overview of British military medicine as practiced in all of the major allied campaigns...during the Second World War.
