In fact, their principal achievement in the 19th and early 20th centuries was to propagandize the values of militarism and wartime sacrifice and to encourage women to participate in national war efforts. The first objective, critical history of the creation of the Red Cross, Champions of Charity provides a startling new image of the world's largest charitable organization.Red Cross and Red CrescentHistoryWarRelief of sick and woundedHistoryElectronic books.Red Cross and Red CrescentHistory.WarRelief of sick and woundedHistory.361.7/634361.77Hutchinson John F934851MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457618803321Champions of charity2105259UNINA
