KNIFE MAN.

by

"In The Knife Man, Wendy Moore unveils John Hunter's murky and macabre world-a world characterized by public hangings, secret expeditions to dank churchyards, and gruesome human dissections in pungent attic rooms. This is a fascinating portrait of a remarkable pioneer and his determined struggle to haul surgery out of the realms of meaningless superstitious ritual and into the dawn of modern medicine."
