A historical narrative, where surgeons and body-snatchers colluded and conspired because this was the only way the surgeons could get anatomical experience. This book tells the story of Astley Cooper (1768-1841), a tearaway young man from Norfolk who became a fiery radical and a brilliantly successful surgeon.
