Warfare is at a tipping point today as it passes from the age of industrial warfare to a new era of computerized warfare and a renewed risk of 'big war' between global powers. Humanitarian response is also developing fast as 'big aid' demands more and more money and tries to digitalize and prepare for new needs in long wars and escalating climate crisis. This book starts with the founding moment of modern of the Red Cross and Red Crescent movement at the Battle of Solferino in 1859 and tracks the big changes in war and humanitarian response in our own times.
