He was a guiding light in surgery. He was not only a soldier's surgeon and a hands-on doctor, he also set a precedent by keeping records and statistics of cases.While the innovations in the medical services of the French Republic and Empire have been publicized, a military surgeon of the caliber of Guthrie has been largely ignored by students of the period - until now.Michael Crumplin, in this comprehensive and graphic study of this remarkable doctor, follows him through his career in the field and recognizes his exceptional contribution to British military medicine and to Wellington's army.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eNew | Mint Condition | Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon | Guaranteed packaging | No quibbles returns\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51960055464224,"sku":"NEW1848842457","price":41.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/guthries-war-a-surgeon-of-the-peninsula-and-waterloo-1848842457","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
