A devout Christian and social activist, an ambitious but failed businessman, a humanitarian genius, and a bankrupt recluse. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this biography, Corinne Chaponnière reveals the tumultuous trajectory of Henry's life. From his idyllic childhood in Geneva, she follows Henry through the horrors of the Battle of Solferino, his creation of the Red Cross and role in the Geneva Conventions, the disgrace of his bankruptcy and his resurrection as a Nobel Peace Prize winner. It shows how this champion of wounded soldiers and prisoners of war was not an unblemished picture of piety and goodness, but that his empathy and good works played out in tandem with his social ambition and personal drive. It shows how even the best of us fall on hard times, and that the Red Cross was born out of humanitarian ideals coupled with a desire for personal success. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book reveals the story of Henry Dunant, blemishes and all, against the backdrop of the horrors of war, the weight of religion and the birth of humanitarianism in the 19th century.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCorinne Chaponnière \u003c\/b\u003eis a journalist, researcher and lecturer with a specific interest in the history of the Red Cross and the life of Henry Dunant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 504\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.7 x 8.2 x 5.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 10, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51768094097696,"sku":"9781350253438","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/00229474f074c7688eaac5b22c043079.webp?v=1780324532","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/henry-dunant-the-man-of-the-red-cross-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
