E.R Mayhew and 7 other signed Collectors Edition of 'The Reconstruction of Warriors', hardback book by E. R. Mayhew, 2004. First published in 2004 by Greenhill Books, the book chronicles the revolutionary advancements in plastic surgery and holistic medical care during World War II. It focuses specifically on the treatment of severely burned Allied airmen at the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead. The book derives its core focus from the Guinea Pig Club, a mutual support network formed by the 647 wounded British, Canadian, Czech, and Polish airmen undergoing these experimental treatments. Rather than hiding patients away, McIndoe championed a radical holistic care methodology. One signed copy found, with a price of £50.
