Blood And Guts by Richard Hollingham
An engaging popular history that traces the dramatic evolution of surgical practice from ancient times to the modern era, recounting pioneering—and often grisly—procedures, the introduction of anesthesia and antisepsis, and the personalities whose innovations transformed medicine. Using vivid case studies and historical anecdotes, it shows how war, technology and shifting social attitudes shaped techniques, patient care and ethical debates, highlighting the failures, risks and breakthroughs that made contemporary surgery possible.
