Trench Talk: Dr Lindsey Fitzharris - The Facemaker
•
Season 5
•
Episode 22
In our latest podcast, it's a privilege to be joined by the writer and historian Dr. Lindsey Fitzharris, who wrote the superb book "The Facemaker" about the pioneering WW1 surgeon Dr. Harold Gillies.
Gillies was determined to give wounded and disfigured servicemen as normal an appearance as possible and his groundbreaking plastic surgery revolutionized maxillofacial medicine, and developed techniques that are still used to this day.
Beautifully written and impeccably researched, The Facemaker is a magnificent book about a remarkable man.
