""I have no doubt about the need for such original and high academic quality book to be published and fill up a gap of knowledge in this field. This book will also serve as a written memorial monument for the brave British physicians that risk their lives while acting to save lives in a country of tough physical and social conditions.will be an important reference book for scholars and students as well as an interesting reading book for the general public."" -- Shifra Shvarts, Faculty of Health Sciences, Ben Gurion University ""The book, which is written in a lucid and fluent style, will be given due value among readers throughout the world. It is addressed to a wide reading public that finds interest in the history of the Middle East and the Land of Israel during the 19th and early 20th century. It will also be of interest to researchers and students in academic institutions who are engaged in oriental studies, in the history of the Land of Israel, in European imperialism in the Levant, in the science of medicine and welfare, in the varied religious and foreign missionary activities in the Middle East, and in the process of modernization that brought about radical changes in the Holy Land."" -- Arie Kofsky University of Haifa.
