Saving Lives in Wartime China: Why It MatteredReviewsJohn Watt, an accomplished historian of China and former medical foundation executive shows how medical and public health practitioners saved lives and created a public health system during the turbulent decades from 1930-1945. Ezra Vogel, Emeritus Professor, Harvard University Capturing the drama - people, disease, poverty and Japanese war - of two crucial decades of health and social transformation in China, Watt's history covers a major lacunae in understanding China past and future. Lincoln Chen, President of the China Medical Board John Watt has lived close to the rich social and medical history of twentieth century China.

Richard N. Pierson, Jr., M.D., Professor of Clinical Medicine, Columbia University, and Chair of the Board, ABMAC Foundation [John Watt's] book certainly deserves Ezra Vogel's praise as the work of an accomplished historian of China and even more that of Lincoln Chen for 'capturing the drama' of the transformation of health care in China...[Watt] also gives us a new perspective on the genius of Mao who overcame the superstitions of peasants who earlier fled medical aid by making them see 'the white-coated warriors' as saviors of the revolution, and saviors of their sons and daughters unlike the Nationalists who simply felt they could conscript more bodies[...]I hope Saving Lives in Wartime China receives the wide notice it deserves.
