The book traces the history of international aid from the anti-slavery movement to the end of the cold war. The reconstruction of humanitarianism's long pattern unfolds around some crucial moments and events: the colonial expansion of European countries, the two world wars and their aftermaths, the emergence of a new postcolonial order.
