About this product
Product Information
In this new biography of Chris Barnard we not only learn about the life of South Africas most famous surgeon, from his Beaufort West childhood through his studies locally and abroad to his prominent marriages and divorces but James Styan also examines the impact of the historic heart transplant on Barnards personal life and South African society at large, where apartheid legislation often made the difficulties of medicine even more convoluted. The role of black medical staff like Hamilton Naki is explored, as is the intense rivalry that arose between other famous heart surgeons and Barnard. How did Barnard manage to beat them all in this race of life and death? How much did his famous charisma have to do with it all? And in the light of his later years, his subsequent successes and considerable failures, what is Barnards legacy today? Styan covers it all in this fascinating new account of a real heartbreaker.

- a***o (684)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseExcellent condition for its age (better than the picture)! Very good pricing. Delivery time was amazing- 3 days through Fed Express. I was worried Fed Express package would not prevent book from getting wet today, but I was wrong. Very, very well packaged. Inside the envelope it was in a cardboard container and inside that it was wrapped in plastic. Book is perfect. Very happy and would not hesitate to buy from her again.
