Reviews

Review from previous edition 'In a rigorously researched piece of work the authors paint a vivid portrait of the hellish brutality and occasional tedium of life on board a vessel of Nelson's fleet.' - Graeme Glass, British Medical Journal `'The true strength of this book...lies in revealing the role of the hundreds of forgotten naval surgeons who ensured that their crews were healthy and ready to fulfil Nelson's daring plans, through the career of one of their most successful number.'' - Surgeon Sub-Lieutenant Melvin J Leong, Royal Navy


Nelson's Surgeon is a well-researched, comprehensive and illuminating account of navel medicine, and a good read as well. Highly recommended. Paul Chamberlain First Empire
