I had the privilege to author a chapter in this, but the reason I write the review is because of the superb treatment of each subject by each of the other chapters' authors. I met George Abela as a student in my classroom and was most impressed with his genuity, focus, and compassion. This text far in excess fulfills its mission: to lay out the case of all aspects of vascular disease, without being pedantic or practice-biased. Even today, years after its publication, it has a proper place in the library of any clinician who wants a complete understanding of the complex multiform disease processes.
