'... a welcome addition to the literature on this important subject ... well worth the read.' International Affairs, 'This important new book … is essential reading for anyone interested in world politics. … this is the most compelling book to combine history with analysis. It is judicious, timely and well researched.' Political Studies Review, "Were this a commissioned study of its history, policy analysis and future goals, the International Committee of the Red Cross could not have expected a more solid, fair-minded or insightful result than has been delivered here independently by American academic and long-time ICRC watcher David Forsythe... Although not uncritical of the ICRC, Forsythe offers persuasive justification for its refusal to engage in shame and blame activities and its continuance, instead, of advocacy for incremental improvement." The Australian, '... a solid overview and detailed account of the International Committee of the Red Cross ... the book should appeal to both generalists and specialists. Students, diplomats and concerned citizens will benefit from a greater understanding of the ICRC and the Red Cross movement's history and role in the international system. Humanitarians, developmentalists/diplomats and security professionals, on the other hand, can gain from its detailed insight to the ICRC's inner workings, role in contemporary conflicts and internal dilemmas.'German Red Cross, 'Were this a commissioned study of its history, policy analysis and future goals, the International Committee of the Red Cross could not have expected a more solid, fair-minded or insightful result than has been delivered here independently by American academic and long-time ICRC watcher David Forsythe.'

Forsythe, well respected for his works relating to Human Rights, also happens to know more about the ICRC than anyone outside, and almost everybody inside, that organization. He understands its foibles and recognizes its occasional failures. He also greatly admires it and has no doubt that the world would be a worse place without it." Times Literary Supplement, '?Forsythe's book is the most up-to-date and reliable account of the International Committee of the Red Cross. This is an important book for anyone seriously concerned with international humanitarianism. Highly recommended.'? Choice, 'David P. Forsythe … happens to know more about the ICRC than anyone outside, and almost everybody inside, that organization. … The Humanitarians is to promote a fuller understanding of the ICRC's role in international relations, and to clear up misunderstandings.' Times Literary Supplement, '… a pleasure … to read. The main reasons for this are the publication's rich informational value, its logical way of arguing and the honesty with which the author seeks to distinguish between facts and presumptions. … highly credible and convincing.' Journal of International Relations and Development, 'David Forsythe's study unlocks many of the mysteries about the International Committee of the Red Cross. Based on previously unexploited sources, he provides a critical yet respectful analysis of this most important humanitarian organisation.' William A.

I'd like to point out that it was also shipped promptly, arrived on time, but the local post office refused to send me any notification of it arriving. Therefore I only got it today, almost a month late. The seller is at no fault, they shipped it on time. So I am highly satisfied with my purchase and the seller, highly recommend them for anyone on Ebay. Great books at great prices, amazing experience.
