Review Michael's matter-of-fact writing style and obvious mastery of his subject serves to fascinate rather than repel and I found it impossible to put down. Rather than the popular image of the wounded being subjected to the mercies of unskilled butchers, a picture emerges of a medical culture that was caring, competent and innovative. While this would make a great present for a shooting doctor of military enthusiast, it is a book that ought to be read by anyone interested in history. --Shooting Times This book concentrates on the surgical practices during a particularly bloody period of English and European history with the French armies and allies pitted against the English with many Scots, Irish and Welsh involved in the fighting. It is beautifully illustrated. --The Surgeon
