Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The iconic relief organization’s activities over a half century of history, through wars, epidemics, and other disasters: “Well-researched . . . fascinating.” —Julia F. Irwin, Bulletin of the History of Medicine In dark skirts and bloodied boots, Clara Barton fearlessly ventured onto Civil War battlefields to tend to wounded soldiers. She later worked with civilians in Europe during the Franco-Prussian War, lobbied legislators to ratify the Geneva conventions, and founded and ran the American Red Cross. The American Red Cross from Clara Barton to the New Deal tells the story of the charitable organization from its start in 1881, through its humanitarian aid during wars, natural disasters, and the Depression, to its relief efforts of the 1930s. Marian Moser Jones illustrates the tension between the organization’s founding principles of humanity and neutrality and the political, economic, and moral pressures that sometimes caused it to favor one group at the expense of another. This book tells the stories of: • U.S. natural disasters such as the Jacksonville yellow fever epidemic of 1888, the Sea Islands hurricane of 1893, and the 1906 San Francisco earthquake • crises abroad, including the 1892 Russian famine and the Armenian massacres of 1895–96 • efforts to help civilians affected by the civil war in Cuba • power struggles within the American Red Cross leadership and subsequent alliances with the American government • the organization’s expansion during World War I • race riots and massacres in East St. Louis, Chicago, and Tulsa between 1917 and 1921 • help for African American and white Southerners after the Mississippi flood of 1927 • relief projects during the Dust Bowl and after the New Deal An epilogue relates the history of the American Red Cross since the beginning of World War II and illuminates the organization’s current practices and international reputation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "No one can read the book without feeling his faith strengthened in the innate nobleness of human nature. - Health: A Home Magazine "The finish of one chapter almost involuntarily draws the reader into the next one." -Red Cross Bulletin There is no organization in the world more justly entitled to the reverence and admiration of the people than that of the Red Cross, and no individual in this broad land that more thoroughly enjoys the respect and love of its citizens than the estimable Clara Barton. Therefore Barton's 1904 book "A Story of the Red Cross: Glimpses of Field Work," recounting as it does the work performed by the Society under her direction, scarcely needs any more extended introduction to public notice than the name of the author. The Red Cross was established to help in the cases of sudden disaster. Its story therefore is the story of many great catastrophes, such as the Texas famine and the Mount Vernon cyclone, 18851888; Yellow fever in Florida, 1887; The Johnstown flood, 1889; The Russian famine, 1891; The sea island relief, 1893; Armenian relief, 1896; Cuba, 18g8; and Galveston, 1900. The thrilling feature of the narrative is the simple telling of the work of reconstruction and the unsparing efforts of the volunteer relief agents to minister to the unfortunate and bring light out of the darkness. In this connection-and this is what gives the book a particular value-the author explains the system of general operation, and the relationship between the Red Cross and the affiliated relief organizations. Among the millions that have admired and praised the work of the Society, few can realize the hardships encountered, the self-denial practised by this noble band of workers; but any one who can read the author's simple yet dramatic recital of its achievements without feeling his cheek wet with the tear of sympathy and his heart glowing with admiration, must indeed be devoid of natural feeling. The motif of the work is disclosed in the first two pages-that a dissertation upon the aims and purposes of the Society was not what people desired, so much as an account of what it did. That the book accomplishes this task successfully none will deny. Anything more thrilling and pathetic than the account of "Yellow Fever in Florida" it would be hard to conceive; while "The Johnstown Flood," "Cuba," and "Galveston" are no whit behind as noble examples of devotion to duty.

About the author: Clara Barton (1821 - 1912) was a pioneering nurse who founded the American Red Cross. She was a hospital nurse in the American Civil War, a teacher, and patent clerk. Nursing education was not very formalized at that time and Clara did not attend nursing school, so she provided self-taught nursing care. Barton is noteworthy for doing humanitarian work at a time when relatively few women worked outside the home. Other works by Barton include: The Red Cross-In Peace and War (1898) The Story of My Childhood (1907)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Making the World Safe, historian Julia Irwin offers an insightful account of the American Red Cross, from its founding in 1881 by Clara Barton to its rise as the government's official voluntary aid agency. Equally important, Irwin shows that the story of the Red Cross is simultaneously a story of how Americans first began to see foreign aid as a key element in their relations with the world. As the American Century dawned, more and more Americans saw the need to engage in world affairs and to make the world a safer place--not by military action but through humanitarian aid. It was a time perfectly suited for the rise of the ARC. Irwin shows how the early and vigorous support of William H. Taft--who was honorary president of the ARC even as he served as President of the United States--gave the Red Cross invaluable connections with the federal government, eventually making it the official agency to administer aid both at home and abroad. Irwin describes how, during World War I, the ARC grew at an explosive rate and extended its relief work for European civilians into a humanitarian undertaking of massive proportions, an effort that was also a major propaganda coup. Irwin also shows how in the interwar years, the ARC's mission meshed well with presidential diplomatic styles, and how, with the coming of World War II, the ARC once again grew exponentially, becoming a powerful part of government efforts to bring aid to war-torn parts of the world. The belief in the value of foreign aid remains a central pillar of U.S. foreign relations. Making the World Safe reveals how this belief took hold in America and the role of the American Red Cross in promoting it.
Download or read book Above the Fray written by Shai M. Dromi and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-01-24 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Lake Chad to Iraq, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) provide relief around the globe, and their scope is growing every year. Policy makers and activists often assume that humanitarian aid is best provided by these organizations, which are generally seen as impartial and neutral. In Above the Fray, Shai M. Dromi investigates why the international community overwhelmingly trusts humanitarian NGOs by looking at the historical development of their culture. With a particular focus on the Red Cross, Dromi reveals that NGOs arose because of the efforts of orthodox Calvinists, demonstrating for the first time the origins of the unusual moral culture that has supported NGOs for the past 150 years. Drawing on archival research, Dromi traces the genesis of the Red Cross to a Calvinist movement working in mid-nineteenth-century Geneva. He shows how global humanitarian policies emerged from the Red Cross founding members’ faith that an international volunteer program not beholden to the state was the only ethical way to provide relief to victims of armed conflict. By illustrating how Calvinism shaped the humanitarian field, Dromi argues for the key role belief systems play in establishing social fields and institutions. Ultimately, Dromi shows the immeasurable social good that NGOs have achieved, but also points to their limitations and suggests that alternative models of humanitarian relief need to be considered.
