The Origin Of The Red Cross

The Origin of the Red Cross: Un Souvenir De Solferino (1911) is a book written by Henri Dunant, a Swiss businessman and social activist who was instrumental in the founding of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the establishment of the Geneva Conventions. The book recounts Dunant's experiences during the Battle of Solferino in 1859, where he witnessed the suffering of wounded soldiers and civilians and was inspired to take action. Dunant's efforts to provide aid and support to the wounded led to the creation of the Red Cross, a humanitarian organization dedicated to providing assistance to victims of war and disaster. The book provides a detailed account of Dunant's experiences and the events that led to the creation of the Red Cross, and it remains an important historical document in the field of humanitarianism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
