Who better than Henry Dunant to shake the reader with a gripping account of the suffering of the thousands of wounded soldiers left untended after the battle of Solferino? In this work, Dunant succeeds in taking the vital step between that vision of devastation and an impassioned appeal on behalf of the victims of combat.
The horrors witnessed by Dunant after the battle of Solferino on 24 June 1859 and his ensuing humanitarian appeal are at the origin of the Red Cross/Red Crescent Movement, which today comprises 186 National Societies with millions of members, as well as the two international bodies – the ICRC and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
This is a truly poignant book.

MissionThe International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is an impartial, neutral and independent organization whose exclusively humanitarian mission is to protect the lives and dignity of victims of armed conflict and other situations of violence and to provide them with assistance. The ICRC also endeavours to prevent suffering by promoting and strengthening humanitarian law and universal humanitarian principles. Established in 1863, the ICRC is at the origin of the Geneva Conventions and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. It directs and coordinates the international activities conducted by the Movement in armed conflicts and other situations of violence.

MissionThe International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is an impartial, neutral and independent organization whose exclusively humanitarian mission is to protect the lives and dignity of victims of armed conflict and other situations of violence and to provide them with assistance. The ICRC also endeavours to prevent suffering by promoting and strengthening humanitarian law and universal humanitarian principles. Established in 1863, the ICRC is at the origin of the Geneva Conventions and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. It directs and coordinates the international activities conducted by the Movement in armed conflicts and other situations of violence.

Who better than Henry Dunant to shake the reader with a gripping account of the suffering of the thousands of wounded soldiers left untended after the battle of Solferino? In this work, Dunant succeeds in taking the vital step between that vision of devastation and an impassioned appeal on behalf of the victims of combat.
The horrors witnessed by Dunant after the battle of Solferino on 24 June 1859 and his ensuing humanitarian appeal are at the origin of the Red Cross/Red Crescent Movement, which today comprises 186 National Societies with millions of members, as well as the two international bodies – the ICRC and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
This is a truly poignant book.
