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

4.0

Truly harrowing but brilliant book. In my mind, the only thing that is greater than the human capacity for brutality and cruelty is our depth of compassion. Sometimes you have to read about the worst things to be reminded of those who care enough and do enough to achieve better things.
