From the dust jacket: "This general history of the American Red Cross gives an over-all picture of operations during the past seventy years. To anyone associated with the Red Cross or interested in its activities the history provides a broader perspective and wider understanding of just what the organization represents. Moreover, the story of activities both at home and abroad is set against the historical background of peace and war during these years to show how the American Red Cross has responded to new needs and adjusted itself to new conditions of American life."
