Written by two anaesthetists, one British and one American, this unique book focuses on the transatlantic story of anaesthesia. The authors have both worked at the two hospitals where the first general anaesthetics for surgery were given in 1846, Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts and University College Hospital, London. Each with more than fifty years' experience of working in anaesthesia, they combine their knowledge and expertise to offer a fresh outlook on the development of anaesthesia through the ages.
This highly informative and intriguing text details the origins of anaesthesia, outlines the different techniques of anaesthesia and traces its progress with illuminating and enlightening commentaries. This is a fascinating book which considers the role key figures have played in developing anaesthesia including, Queen Victoria, William Morris, La Condamine, Bjorn Ibsen and Henry Beecher.
Broken down into four sections, which are divided into easy-to-read chapters and filled with top quality photographs, this book makes compelling reading. It is recommended to all those interested in the history and development of medicine through the ages, and is of particular interest to anaesthetists. More than just the science of anaesthesia, this is the story about the people and personalities who have made anaesthesia what it is today.

I bought this book because I thought that I ought to own it. I am an anesthesiologist so it seemed like the sort of volume that should sit on my shelf. I started reading it idlely and find it to be fascinating. I learned a great deal about my own specialty and I found the writing to clear and sprightly. It is a pleasant way to become better acquainted with the anesthetic roots of the modern practice of medicine.
By Stuart Roth
This is a very easy to read book that summarizes the historical landmarks that shaped the practice of anesthesia. It does not go into great detail on any single event or person, but does summarize the big picture.
