Recenzii

'In the tumultuous aftermath of the Great War, governments, humanitarian organizations, and philanthropists, driven by their preoccupation with civilizational decline, mobilized both to save intellectuals - identified as a category especially deserving of assistance - and to rebuild institutions of knowledge. This neglected history of 'intellectual relief' is the great topic of Tomás Irish's innovative, and powerful book. His new research should be widely read at a time when intellectual life and cultural heritage are constantly threatened by the many crises of the new millennium.' Bruno Cabanes, Ohio State University
'This book reveals how humanitarianism after 1918 was inspired as much by the desire to feed minds as hungry bodies. Middle-class youth is at the heart of an exciting history that binds the reconstruction of Europe with the battle to revive faith in the value of learning and international exchange.' Patricia Clavin, University of Oxford
