    Henry Dunant

    A MEMORY

    H. Dunant
    OF SOLFERINO

    Who better than Henry Dunant


    ICRC

    to shake the reader with a


    gripping account of the suffering
    of the thousands of wounded
    soldiers left untended after the

    A MEMORY OF SOLFERINO
    battle of Solferino? In this work,
    Dunant succeeds in taking the
    vital step between that vision of
    devastation and an impassioned
    appeal on behalf of the victims
    of combat.
    The horrors witnessed by Dunant
    after the battle of Solferino on
    24 June 1859 and his ensuing
    humanitarian appeal are at the
    origin of the Red Cross/Red Crescent
    Movement, which today comprises
    186 National Societies with millions
    0361/002 11.2010 2,000

    of members, as well as the two


    international bodies – the ICRC and
    the International Federation of Red
    Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
    This is a truly poignant book.
