Roderick Stewart.
"...should generate renewed interest in this uniquely complex individual. Yes, Bethune was a special man and a larger-than-life character, and Stewart covers well the heroics. But what makes this work so powerful is that it lets Bethune speak for himself: the book depends on Bethune's own letters, poetry and papers." - The Muskokan "...an unusual biography of an unusual and enigmatic physician, drawn mainly from his letters, speeches, radio broadcasts, medical and political articles, poetry, drawings, paintings, and photographs. The extracts from Bethune's own materials are linked by concise but informative biographical notes by the author. Both write in a fluent readable style...should be of interest to anyone who is intrigued by unique and fascinating characters. It should be of particular interest to those studying the social history of medical practice in the first half of the 20th century, the medical history of the Spanish Civil War, and the history of blood transfusion." - JAMA: Journal of the American Medical Association
