"Dr. Norman Bethune, the subject of this comprehensive biography, has been described by the authors as a man who 'lived on many levels, had many careers, was involved with many people, and became a stormy petrel of some of the decisive happenings of our era. Though he first won international fame as a thoracic surgeon, he was also, in varying degrees a painter, poet, soldier, critic, teacher, lecturer, inventor, medical writer and theorist.'" -- From the dust jacket.
