This book was released on 1987 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Vincent Hunter Barrington Kennett-Barrington (1844-1903), was a humanitarian worker and businessman. He was associated with the British League of the Order of St John of Jerusalem, which in turn led to his involvement with the Society for Aiding and Ameliorating the Condition of the Sick and Wounded in the Time of War (known as the National Aid Society and later, as the Red Cross). He was involved in providing humanitarian assistance to both sides in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71. Following the armistice he became further involved in humanitarian work in eastern France, and went on to provide help during the Carlist War in Spain (1873-5), the Serbo-Turkish War (1876-7), and the Turko-Russian War (1877-8). This is a collection of some of his letters home and to the National Aid Society from the war front in Spain in the 1870s.

Download or read book The Spanish Civil Wars written by Mark Lawrence and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-02-09 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title 2017 This book provides a comparative history of the domestic and international nature of Spain's First Carlist War (1833-40) and the Spanish Civil War (1936-39), as well as the impact of both conflicts. The book demonstrates how and why Spain's struggle for liberty was won in the 1830s only for it to be lost one hundred years later. It shows how both civil wars were world wars in miniature, fought in part by foreign volunteers under the gaze and in the political consciousness of the outside world. Prefaced by a short introduction, The Spanish Civil Wars is arranged into two domestic and international sections, each with three thematic chapters comparing each civil war in detail. The main analytical perspectives are political, social and new military history in nature, but they also explore aspects of gender, culture, nationalism and separatism, economy, religion and, especially, the war in its international context. The book integrates international archival research with the latest scholarship on both subjects and also includes a glossary, a bibliography and several images. It is a key resource tailored to the needs of students and scholars of modern Spain which offers an intriguing and original new perspective on the Spanish Civil War.
Download or read book Nineteenth Century Spain written by Mark Lawrence and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-13 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nineteenth century Spain deserves wider readership. Bedevilled by lost empires, wars, political instability and frustrated modernisation, the country appeared backward in relation to northern Europe and even in relation to much of its own geographical periphery. This new history, the first survey of its kind in English in more than a hundred years, offers a fresh perspective on this century, showing how and why elements of backwardness and modernity ran in parallel through Spain. Bounded by the military and imperial crises of 1808 and 1898, this study pays special attention to the experience of war on politics and society, and integrates the latest historical debates in its analysis.

Download or read book First Aid to the Battlefront written by Sir Vincent Kennett-Barrington and published by Sutton Publishing. This book was released on 1992 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vincent Hunter Kennett-Barrington (1844-1903) was an early pioneer of international medical relief work whose services led to his knighthood in 1886. These letters to his family written during the course of six campaigns - the Franco-Prussian War, the second Carlist War, the Turco-Servian War, the Russo-Turkish War, the Suakin Campaign and the Servo-Bulgarian War - reveal the working life of those in the relief services and provide an insight into the early history of the Red Cross and St John Ambulance movement. A superb letter-writer, Kennett-Barrington recounts the difficulties and dangers of the conditions under which he laboured, including the practical aspects of helping and transporting the wounded within war zones, as well as the many amusing incidents in his work. The confusions and complications of voluntary activity in foreign quarrels, as well as the problems of operating in countries with poor communications, are illustrated together with the variety of motives which led young Victorian humanitarians to offer their services. Also evident are the difficulties to which personal relationships were subjected by such a commitment. The letters combine to form a love story, an account of human misery and the attempts made to relieve it, and a tale of heroic adventure. The nineteenth century saw the emergence of British relief agencies because although Britain was at peace for most of the century British public opinion was keenly aware of wars elsewhere, especially those in which religious issues were involved. This correspondence captures the attitudes, values and concerns of those attracted to voluntary activities. Illustrated with contemporary drawings and photographs, and withmaps and chronologies clarifying each campaign Kennett-Barrington was involved in, this book will be of interest to those concerned with the early history of the Red Cross and St John Ambulance movement, and military historians, as well as to the general reader interested in later nineteenth-century social history and public affairs.
