J. Henry Dunant and the events leading to the award of the first Nobel Peace Prize

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  23 November 2010

Willy Heudtlass*
Affiliation:
Director of Press and Radio Services of the German Red Cross in the Federal Republic of Germany.

Extract

The celebration of the Centenary of the Red Cross brought to the fore not only new aspects of the Red Cross ideal and action on the threshold to the second centenary of its existence, but also the men who played a decisive role in its history. Moreover, appropriate tribute was paid to those who are today in charge of the future of the Red Cross and who, in these troubled times, each day assume new and heavy responsibilities.

Kohlhammer, Stuttgart). This publication, of which an account was given in the November 1962 issue of the International Review reproduces previously unpublished documents, thanks to the possibility which was given to the author of consulting the papers left by Dr. Hans Daae to his family, as well as documents in the Dunant archives at Gelsenkirchen (Ed.).
