Through the night and Such impossibilities

"Through the Night ... a hospital provides the most pathetic spectacle of people being bullied into abandoning their free will ... a young woman who goes into hospital for what she believes to be a routine cancer test, and...wakes up from the operating table to find she is minus a breast. It was not the necessity of removing the breast which was in question, but the unwillingness of the hospital staff to engage personally with a patient faced with, and then adjusting to, such a traumatic experience." ... "Such Impossibilities ... Set in 1911, it show Tom Mann, Secretary of the Transport Workers' Federation, at the head of the Committee directing a strike of the Seamen's Unions in Liverpool."--Back cover.
