The second volume of the author's two-part history of the development of modern surgery. (The first, "The Century of the Surgeon," had been published in Germany in 1956.) In this book, which "begins with the use of local anesthesia, which made it possible to treat cases that hade previously been inoperable," Thorwald "again employs his fictitious eyewitness, Dr. Hartmann. Through him we visit the operating rooms of the past and become acquainted with the personalities of the great surgeons present. We participate, as it were, in these exciting surgical advances and marvel at the progress made in the span of one lifetime."
