At the heart of conflicts, over a century of humanity in action

When powers go to war, non-governmental organisations mobilise and open channels for informal dialogue, bringing comfort to prisoners and all victims. Amidst carnage and dehumanisation, goodwill finds a way to save lives. A look back at more than a century of action by the ICRC and NGOs on all fronts.
With the assistance of readers of the Histothèque association for the historical sources that illustrate these portraits.
