Abstract
THIS publication is one of a series of Achievement Books, the three preceding issues of which record British achievement in art and music, farming and in aircraft. The author of this issue, Mr. Langdon-Davies, pays a richly deserved tribute to modern medical work. "British medical science", he says in his foreword, "is loosely and illogically organized. In spite of this, there can be no doubt that the British medical profession rose to the occasion and solved the problems of war more successfully than they have been solved before in military history...." Some of the problems which faced those others who were charged with medical service at the battle fronts and the means they adopted to meet them are also illustrated in this publication.
British Achievement in the Art of Healing
