The Facemaker: A Visionary Surgeon’s Battle to Mend the Disfigured Soldiers of World War I 

byLindsey Fitzharris

The Facemaker brings Lindsey Fitzharris' attention to the visionary surgeon’s battle to mend the disfigured soldiers of world war i, treating the subject as a developing story rather than a settled conclusion. The argument in The Facemaker develops through biographical detail, personal testimony, and historical context, attending to both broad patterns and the revealing details that resist them. That perspective connects the visionary surgeon’s battle to mend the disfigured soldiers of world war i to larger questions in biography & autobiography and history, without losing sight of the people living through the consequences.
