A New York Times Bestseller Finalist for the 2022 Kirkus Prize | Named a best book of the year by The Guardian "Enthralling. Harrowing. Heartbreaking. And utterly redemptive. Lindsey Fitzharris hit this one out of the park." —Erik Larson, author of The Splendid and the Vile Lindsey Fitzharris, the award-winning author of The Butchering Art, presents the compelling, true story of a visionary surgeon who rebuilt the faces of the First World War’s injured heroes, and in the process ushered in the modern era of plastic surgery. From the moment the first machine gun rang out over the Western Front, one thing was clear: humankind’s military technology had wildly surpassed its medical capabilities. Bodies were battered, gouged, hacked, and gassed. The First World War claimed millions of lives and left millions more wounded and disfigured. In the midst of this brutality, however, there were also those who strove to alleviate suffering. The Facemaker tells the extraordinary story of such an individual: the pioneering plastic surgeon Harold Gillies, who dedicated himself to reconstructing the burned and broken faces of the injured soldiers under his care. Gillies, a Cambridge-educated New Zealander, became interested in the nascent field of plastic surgery after encountering the human wreckage on the front. Returning to Britain, he established one of the world’s first hospitals dedicated entirely to facial reconstruction. There, Gillies assembled a unique group of practitioners whose task was to rebuild what had been torn apart, to re-create what had been destroyed. At a time when losing a limb made a soldier a hero, but losing a face made him a monster to a society largely intolerant of disfigurement, Gillies restored not just the faces of the wounded but also their spirits. The Facemaker places Gillies’s ingenious surgical innovations alongside the dramatic stories of soldiers whose lives were wrecked and repaired. The result is a vivid account of how medicine can be an art, and of what courage and imagination can accomplish in the presence of relentless horror.

Die europaweit erste Gesamtdarstellung des Bildes des modernen Krieges und des Krieges der Bilder. Das reich illustrierte Buch lehrt, die Bildersprache des Krieges zu lesen und zu verstehen. Ausgehend von den Konflikten der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts (Krimi-Krieg, Amerikanischer Bürgerkrieg, deutsche Reichseinigungs-Kriege, Pariser Commune, Spanisch-Amerikanischer Krieg) verfolgt der Autor die Visualisierung des modernen Krieges im 20. Jahrhundert bis zu den postmodernen Kriegen der Gegenwart (Golf-Krieg, Kosovo-Krieg, Anschlag von 11.9.2001, Krieg in Afghanistan). 150 Jahre nach Beginn der ersten fotografierten Kriege ist es zugleich ein gelungener Versuch, die Bildsprache des Krieges zu lesen und verständlich zu machen.

Der Krieg in Guinea-Bissau von 1963 bis 1974 war der bewaffnete Kampf der nationalen Bewegung PAIGC gegen die Vorherrschaft der portugiesischen Kolonialregierung im Land. Er sollte für die portugiesische Metropole zu einem militärisch und politisch desaströsen Krieg werden, der es im Jahre 1974 vermochte, ein ganzes Regime und mit ihm sein verbliebenes koloniales Imperium zu stürzen. Für Portugal brachte er mit der Nelkenrevolution das Ende der Diktatur, für die ehemalige portugiesische Provinz die Geburt des Staates Guinea-Bissau. Dieser tiefgreifende Aspekt ihrer Geschichte verwebt und trennt die beiden Länder historisch. Tina Kramer sucht nach den kollektiven Erinnerungen und ihren Verflechtungen zwischen Portugal und Guinea-Bissau. Dabei nimmt sie die Erinnerungspolitik beider Länder in den Blick, setzt sie in Beziehung zu den Erzählungen der Betroffenen und spürt Erinnerungsorten nach. From 1963 to 1974 the PAIGC conducted an armed struggle against the Portuguese colonial government in Guinea Bissau. For the Portuguese metropole the war was militarily and politically disastrous, leading in 1974 to the toppling of a whole regime and what was left of its colonial empire. The Carnation Revolution brought to an end the dictatorship and led to a political reorientation towards democracy, turning what had been a Portuguese province into the state of Guinea Bissau. For both countries the war represents a far-reaching aspect of their history, which historically weaves them together and also separates them. Tina Kramer examines the collective memories it awakes in the two countries and connection in which they stand to one another. She focuses on the policies of remembrance of both countries, relates them to the narratives of those affected and locates the places of memory.
