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. 606 $aRed Cross and Red Crescent$xHistory 606 $aWar$xRelief of sick and wounded$xHistory 615 0$aRed Cross and Red Crescent$xHistory. 615 0$aWar$xRelief of sick and wounded$xHistory. 676 $a361.7/634 676 $a361.77 700 $aHutchinson$b John F$01706608 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812349903321 996 $aChampions of charity$94094166 997 $aUNINA
