You have convinced me that it is a must read (as has Harry by posting about it!)- the online supplement is a great idea. I am looking forward to getting my hands on it!

Kind Regards,

Damian.

It’s a great book that you will no doubt enjoy. I had thought of asking about setting up an interview as well so I am looking forward to yours.

In fact, I think that whatever success these artificial-limbs programs had was largely attributable to the fact that they were run by military surgeons, who knew first-hand about the efffects of the injuries and that their country needed to help. What really made me appreciate the human scope of amputations were the seemingly endless lists of men who applied for or received artificial limbs. These, by the way, are available online as a supplement to the book.

The lives of physically and mentally injured soldiers after their injuries is a really interesting topic and something I am trying to learn more about- there are some heart breaking stories out there
