About This Item
Cronin's distinguished achievement....No one could have written as fine, honest, and moving a study of a young doctor as The Citadel without possessing great literary taste and skill." --The Atlantic Monthly
A groundbreaking novel of its time and a National Book Award winner.
The Citadel follows the life of Andrew Manson, a young and idealistic Scottish doctor, as he navigates the challenges of practicing medicine across interwar Wales and England. Based on Cronin's own experiences as a physician, The Citadel boldly confronts traditional medical ethics, and has been noted as one of the inspirations for the formation of the National Health Service.
The Citadel has been adapted into several successful film, radio, and television productions around the world, including the Oscar-nominated 1938 film starring Ralph Donat, Rosalind Russell, Ralph Richardson, and Rex Harrison.

What a GREAT read. I have become a fan of AJ Cronin and am in the process of acquiring as many of his novels as I can. Each one is riveting and holds your attention. The descriptions and pictures that Cronin painted in each chapter continue to hold you ... and want you to keep reading. Its amazing .... The Citadel was first published in 1939 ... and here it is 2010 and I'm a first time reader of the book and finding it just a great read ....
