Hardcover. First edition. Lettering on spine and front cover is a bit dull, very good or better in worn dust jacket with several chips and tears and an early tape mend on the verso, thus just a good example of a scarce dust jacket. The author, Dr. Kathryn M. Whitten, was an early Fort Wayne physician and surgeon. This novel tells the story of a "skillful but utterly ruthless surgeon who rockets to totalitarian authority that was finally betrayed by his own false standards [and] A woman surgeon who is passively resisting the savage dictatorship..." - from the dust jacket. A medical novel, written by a pioneering female surgeon, detailing the struggles of a fictional female doctor, "resisting a savage dictatorship." *
