A “captivating” account of the starvation and disease that wracked far-from-the-front Beirut during WWI, and the relief efforts that followed (Middle East Journal). With the exception of a few targeted aerial bombardments of the city’s port, Beirut and Mount Lebanon did not see direct combat in World War I. Yet civilian casualties in this part of the Ottoman Empire reached shocking heights, possibly numbering half a million people. No war, in its usual understanding, took place there, but Lebanon was incontestably war-stricken. As a food crisis escalated into famine, it was the bloodless incursion of starvation and the silent assault of fatal disease that defined everyday life. The Charity of War tells how the Ottoman home front grappled with total war and how it sought to mitigate starvation and sickness through relief activities. Melanie S. Tanielian examines the wartime famine’s reverberations throughout the community: in Beirut’s municipal institutions, in its philanthropic and religious organizations, in international agencies, and in the homes of the city’s residents. Her local history reveals a dynamic politics of provisioning that was central to civilian experiences in the war, as well as to the Middle Eastern political landscape that emerged post-war. By tracing these responses to the conflict, she demonstrates World War I's immediacy far from the European trenches, in a place where war was a socio-economic and political process rather than a military event.

Author John Hutchinson argues that the world's national Red Cross organizations failed in their original aim of making war more humane. In fact, their principal achievement in the 19th and early 20th centuries was to propagandize the values of militarism and wartime sacrifice and to encourage women to participate in national war efforts. The first objective, critical history of the creation of the Red Cross, Champions of Charity provides a startling new image of the world's largest charitable organization.

This book challenges scholarship which presents charity and voluntary activity during World War I as marking a downturn from the high point of the late Victorian period. Charitable donations rose to an all-time peak, and the scope and nature of charitable work shifted decisively. Far more working class activists, especially women, became involved, although there were significant differences between the suburban south and industrial north of England and Scotland. The book also corrects the idea that charitably-minded civilians’ efforts alienated the men at the front, in contrast to the degree of negativity that surrounds much previous work on voluntary action in this period. Far from there being an unbridgeable gap in understanding or empathy between soldiers and civilians, the links were strong, and charitable contributions were enormously important in maintaining troop morale. This bond significantly contributed to the development and maintenance of social capital in Britain, which, in turn, strongly supported the war effort. This work draws on previously unused primary sources, notably those regarding the developing role of the UK’s Director General of Voluntary Organizations and the regulatory legislation of the period.

Excerpt from Conference on War Relief and Personal Service: Organised by Charity Organisation Societies and Guilds of Help The Chairman: Your Grace, Ladies, and Gentlemen, - I have been asked to read the following letters of regret for absence from the meeting. The first is from the Archbishop of York, who says: 'I am much interested to hear of the proposed Conference, and wish most heartily that I could be present, especially during the discussion of the subject fixed for June 11; but I fear it is impossible. I am held up by many engagements in this part of the world, fixed long ago. I must content myself with wishing every success to the Conference.' Then we have a note from Lady St. Cyres, who writes to say that she is away in the country, under doctors orders, for rest, and fears that she will not be able to be present. Mrs. H.B. Irving expresses regret at not being able to be present, so does Miss Macarthur. We have similar letters from Lady Roberts, Lady French, the Bishop of Winchester, Lady Eglinton, and Lord Grey.

GLIMPSES OF WAR Volume 1 COVID inspired book of war time memories in aid of a major charity 'Highly recommended... from across the different wars of the 20th century comes this unique collection of inspirational narratives of human endurance, daring exploits, fighting spirit and sheer heroism.' Dr Helen Fry, author, historian and broadcaster 'What a marvellous time - during the many privations of 'lockdown' - to ask us all to turn out our family archives and contribute to the BMMHS's first publication. And no better charity than Blind Veterans UK to receive any profit from this great initiative.' Major General Dair Farrar-Hockley MC Inspired by the first COVID lockdown, Glimpses of War describes personal experiences of wartime of the last 100 years. Stories of great valour and heroism, of tragedy and sorrow, of hardship and stoicism as well as ordinary people 'just doing their bit'. The British Modern Military History Society has captured many aspects of war from many perspectives. People living through the Blitz, soldiers fighting on the Western Front in the trenches, 2 brothers fighting in Normandy after D Day, soldiers surviving the horrors of the Japanese POW camps, and a nurse serving on HMHS Uganda during the Falklands War.Glimpses of War, in the personal words of those who lived through these times or from their family members or historians, portrays a whole range of emotions with many moving stories of wartime. With all profits going to the charity Blind Veterans UK (formerly St Dunstan's), the British Modern Military History Society has compiled a superb book (the first of three) which will be a valuable addition to anyone's bookshelf. www.bmmhs.org/glimpses-of-war

This account of poor relief, charity, and social welfare in Germany from the Reformation through World War I integrates historical narrative and theoretical analysis of such issues as social discipline, governmentality, gender, religion, and state-formation. It analyzes the changing cultural frameworks through which the poor came to be considered as needy; the institutions, strategies, and practices devised to assist, integrate, and discipline these populations; and the political alchemy through which the needs of the individual were reconciled with those of the community. While the Bismarckian social insurance programs have long been regarded as the origin of the German welfare state, this book shows how preventive social welfare programs--the second pillar of the welfare state--evolved out of traditional poor relief, and it emphasizes the role of Progressive reformers and local, voluntary initiative in this process and the impact of competing reform discourses on both the social domain and the public sphere.
