      The book examines the entrenched belief in military dominance as a cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy, despite growing public support for reduced overseas involvement. It argues that this perspective is rooted in the domestic political landscape shaped during World War II and the Cold War. The author, Peter Harris, contends that for the U.S. to adopt a more balanced global role, significant domestic reforms and a shift in strategy towards restraint are essential. The text outlines potential changes necessary for this transformation and how they can be achieved.

      Blood is the life-force of every human being (and other animals). When it leaks out of our blood vessels, we die. When the aorta, the biggest blood vessel in the body, bursts, death usually comes quickly but for a lucky few it's not instantaneous. For them, survival is possible with emergency surgery. When a blockage in a blood vessel stops the blood from flowing, the deprived part of the body malfunctions and may decay if an operation to relieve the blockage is not performed. When Peter Harris first became a consultant vascular surgeon in the 1980s, the operations were big and bloody. When he finished in 2012, scalpels and saws had been largely superseded by bloodless needle-puncture procedures guided by X-ray images on a television screen. The evolution of the technology that made this possible is told primarily through the experiences of patients and includes vivid and, at times, harrowing descriptions of their operations and aftermath. Accounts of his own trials and tribulations and the good times are set against the troubled backdrop of the NHS starting in Broadgreen Hospital on the outskirts of Liverpool in 1979 and ending at University College Hospital in London in 2012.
