330 .. $a "In Making the World Safe, historian Julia Irwin offers an insightful account of the
American Red Cross, from its founding in 1881 by Clara Barton to its rise as the government's
official voluntary aid agency. Equally important, Irwin shows that the story of the
Red Cross is simultaneously a story of how Americans first began to see foreign aid
as a key element in their relations with the world. As the American Century dawned,
more and more Americans saw the need to engage in world affairs and to make the world
a safer place--not by military action but through humanitarian aid. It was a time
perfectly suited for the rise of the ARC. Irwin shows how the early and vigorous support
of William H. Taft--who was honorary president of the ARC even as he served as President
of the United States--gave the Red Cross invaluable connections with the federal government,
eventually making it the official agency to administer aid both at home and abroad.
Irwin describes how, during World War I, the ARC grew at an explosive rate and extended
its relief work for European civilians into a humanitarian undertaking of massive
proportions, an effort that was also a major propaganda coup. Irwin also shows how
in the interwar years, the ARC's mission meshed well with presidential diplomatic
styles, and how, with the coming of World War II, the ARC once again grew exponentially,
becoming a powerful part of government efforts to bring aid to war-torn parts of the
world. The belief in the value of foreign aid remains a central pillar of U.S. foreign
relations. Making the World Safe reveals how this belief took hold in America and
the role of the American Red Cross in promoting it."
