In Love and War

In the aftermath of the Battle of Britain, airmen filled a small Sussex town where pioneering plastic surgeon Archibald McIndoe established revolutionary surgical and therapeutic treatments. For the child Liz Byrski, growing up in a small Sussex town, the burnt faces of these airmen filled her nightmares.

In her late sixties, Liz returned to make peace with her memories and to speak not only with the survivorsβ€”known as the Guinea Pig Clubβ€”but with the nurses who played a vital and unorthodox role in their treatment, sometimes at a significant personal cost.

In Love and War is a powerful exploration of healing and the human spirit in the face of overwhelming adversity.
