Small, Hugh, 1943-2017
Book
Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) is best known as a reformer of hospital nursing during and after the Crimean War, but many feel that her nursing reputation has been overstated. This book tells the story of the sanitary disaster in her wartime hospital and why the government covered it up against her wishes.
