Exploring the paradox of humanitarianism, the book delves into how Red Cross organizations, initially aimed at alleviating the horrors of war, evolved into advocates for militarism and sacrifice. John Hutchinson critiques this transformation, illuminating the tension between the noble intentions of these organizations and their complicity in the glorification of conflict. Through historical analysis, the work challenges readers to reconsider the role of charity in wartime and its implications for our understanding of compassion and violence.
