Description: From a 1933 call by Albert Einstein to help those fleeing Nazi Germany, the International Rescue Committee has grown into one of the world's most influential humanitarian organizations. This book traces its history and explains how the IRC mobilizes in war zones and failed states, from emergency medical care under fire to schools, livelihood programs, and the long journey of refugee resettlement. It also takes a clear-eyed look at the criticism and reforms that have shaped the organization, asking hard questions about accountability in aid work. Looking ahead, it considers how climate displacement and new crises may redefine what it means to answer the call for help.
