SYNOPSIS:
Dr. Andrew Manson, a young Scots medical graduate embarked on his first job amidst the coal mining crags of Wales--and on the slippery slopes of the citadel of 20th century medicine. Manson arrives in the Welsh mining town of Drineffy, full of enthusiasm to start his career as an assistant to Dr. Page. His expectations are soon shattered. Manson finds the conditions and the medical mores appalling. The Citadel chronicles his career from early idealism and striving to the heights and sham of fashionable practice in London's elegant West End, and back again. It is also the story of Manson's love for and loss of his strong-willed, tender wife.
