'Calculating Compassion' draws on new archival research to reveal the preoccupations of 19th-century relief workers, and the legacies for relief work today. Tracing the early history of familiar British aid agencies such as the British Red Cross Society (founded 1870) and the Save the Children Fund UK (founded 1919) - as well as those less familiar and now defunct - this book challenges any notion of a common 'humanitarian' ideal. 0aHumanitarian assistance, BritishxHistoryy19th century.9190388 0aHumanitarian assistance, BritishxHistoryy20th century.9190389 0aWar reliefzGreat BritainxHistoryy19th century.9190390 0aWar reliefzGreat BritainxHistoryy20th century.9190391 0aWar victimsxServices forxHistoryy19th century.9190392 0aWar victimsxServices forxHistoryy20th century.9190393  a= C.1 SDU  cGBE2lcc  c103095d103095  00102lcc406HV0555 G7 G55  02013708CGB9279314aSDUbSDUcGEN3d2025-08-26e2l0oHV555.G7 G55 2013p1000370132r2025-08-26 00:00:00tC.1w2025-08-26yGBE
