Pressezitat
“This is an interesting and informative book on the development of child cancer services in Great Britain from 1940. … The book details many facts, details, and narratives that will be of use to researchers in the area. … In summary, the book is a valuable narrative addition to the important subject of the changing nature and perception of childhood cancer.” (Jonathan Gillis, Bulletin of the History of Medicine, Vol. 90 (1), Spring, 2016)
