Rewriting of the biography of Henry Dunant, the founder of the International Red Cross.
This paper presents quite a different version of the origins of the Red Cross from that officially recognised. On the basis of historical documents and statements of authors who are critical and attentive to the detail of the circumstances and events which gave rise to the Red Cross, it is possible to discern a surprising historical truth.
