Archibald Joseph Cronin (19 July 1896 – 6 January 1981), known as A. J. Cronin, was a Scottish physician and novelist. [2] His best-known novel is The Citadel (1937), about a Scottish doctor who serves in a Welsh mining village before achieving success in London, where he becomes disillusioned about the venality and incompetence of some doctors. Cronin knew both areas, as a medical inspector of mines and as a doctor in Harley Street. The book exposed unfairness and malpractice in British medicine and helped to inspire the National Health Service. [3] All about the doctor turned novelist whose heart always remained in Scotland".

The Citadel is the morality tale of the initially idealistic Scottish Doctor Andrew Manson who starts off working in the mining towns of the South Wales valleys where he makes liberal use of explosives to remedy public health nuisances before descending into the vanity fair of fashionable London doctors, who specialise in conditions which cost a lot of money to treat, where he reaches a crisis point before returning to the narrow path of virtue. All of which leads me to point out that “The Citadel” is a novel that was very consciously intended to make a point, namely that the British medical system of Cronin’s day was badly in need of reform. It was a closed shop of self-seeking, poorly educated, change-averse charlatans. Indeed, the book turned out to be a ground-breaking publication that significantly influenced the creation of the British National Health a few years later. Accordingly, it must be judged in terms of its success in that sphere, as a social and political document as much as on its merit as a novel.
