{"product_id":"the-great-war-and-the-bruno-cabanes-9781107604834","title":"The Great War and the Origins of Humanitarianism, 1918-1924","description":"The aftermath of the Great War brought the most troubled peacetime the world had ever seen. Survivors of the war were not only the soldiers who fought, the wounded in mind and body. They were also the stateless, the children who suffered war's consequences, and later the victims of the great Russian famine of 1921 to 1923. Before the phrases 'universal human rights' and 'non-governmental organization' even existed, five remarkable men and women - Ren  Cassin and Albert Thomas from France, Fridtjof Nansen from Norway, Herbert Hoover from the US and Eglantyne Jebb from Britain - understood that a new type of transnational organization was needed to face problems that respected no national boundaries or rivalries. Bruno Cabanes, a pioneer in the study of the aftermath of war, shows, through his vivid and revelatory history of individuals, organizations, and nations in crisis, how and when the right to human dignity first became inalienable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruno Cabanes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107604834\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107604834\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/13\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 397\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2014 pg. 673","brand":"Bruno Cabanes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43924067778815,"sku":"9781107604834","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3c8715bd-564f-491e-b07a-128216e8da08.jpg?v=1681068284","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-great-war-and-the-bruno-cabanes-9781107604834","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
