Although When Death Becomes Life is about courage and innovation and dedication, it is foremost a book about hope.... This monumental and enthralling history of one of modern medicine\'s most rousing triumphs is a definitive testament to that hope, and to the brave physicians and patients whose sacrifices made it possible. -- New York Journal of BooksA gifted surgeon illuminates one of the most profound, awe-inspiring, and deeply affecting achievements of modern day medicine--the movement of organs between bodies--in this exceptional work of death and life that takes its place besides Atul Gawande\'s Complications, Siddhartha Mukherjee\'s The Emperor of All Maladies, and Jerome Groopman\'s How Doctors Think.
