The roosting box : rebuilding the body after the First World War

Den Hartog, Kristen 1965- (author.).

Summary: In the aftermath of the First World War, a cash register factory in the west end of Toronto was renovated to treat wounded soldiers returning from war. From 1919 to the 1940s, thousands of soldiers passed through its doors. Some spent the remainder of their lives there. This is an exquisitely written history of the early years of the Christie Street Hospital and how war reshaped Canadian society. Naming chapters after parts of the body, den Hartog chronicles injuries and treatments, and through the voices of real men and women, the struggles and accomplishments of the patients and staff.
