Sadly this has been seriously delayed by the unexpected poor health of Michael Rogers. Please register your interest as shown below and then we will notify you if the book is written. In addition we will update this page with further news as it develops.

Introduction
Today many recipients of care and rehabilitation following such injuries are not aware of the fascinating story that lies behind this pioneer research that goes back to the Egyptian days. This short book is designed to refresh and inform readers of the early days at Stoke Mandeville Hospital through research and anecdotal memories of former patients and staff. It will also recall and inform how Guttmann built the Centre into the world famous Centre that it is today and how he introduced sport into rehabilitation.
