'... a welcome addition to the literature on this important subject ... well worth the read.' International Affairs, 'This important new book … is essential reading for anyone interested in world politics. … this is the most compelling book to combine history with analysis. It is judicious, timely and well researched.' Political Studies Review, "Were this a commissioned study of its history, policy analysis and future goals, the International Committee of the Red Cross could not have expected a more solid, fair-minded or insightful result than has been delivered here independently by American academic and long-time ICRC watcher David Forsythe... Although not uncritical of the ICRC, Forsythe offers persuasive justification for its refusal to engage in shame and blame activities and its continuance, instead, of advocacy for incremental improvement." The Australian, '... a solid overview and detailed account of the International Committee of the Red Cross ... the book should appeal to both generalists and specialists. Students, diplomats and concerned citizens will benefit from a greater understanding of the ICRC and the Red Cross movement's history and role in the international system. Humanitarians, developmentalists/diplomats and security professionals, on the other hand, can gain from its detailed insight to the ICRC's inner workings, role in contemporary conflicts and internal dilemmas.'German Red Cross, 'Were this a commissioned study of its history, policy analysis and future goals, the International Committee of the Red Cross could not have expected a more solid, fair-minded or insightful result than has been delivered here independently by American academic and long-time ICRC watcher David Forsythe.' The Australian, "David P. Forsythe, well respected for his works relating to Human Rights, also happens to know more about the ICRC than anyone outside, and almost everybody inside, that organization. He understands its foibles and recognizes its occasional failures. He also greatly admires it and has no doubt that the world would be a worse place without it." Times Literary Supplement, '… a welcome addition to the literature on this important subject … well worth the read.'International Affairs, '?Forsythe's book is the most up-to-date and reliable account of the International Committee of the Red Cross. This is an important book for anyone seriously concerned with international humanitarianism. Highly recommended.'? Choice, 'David P. Forsythe … happens to know more about the ICRC than anyone outside, and almost everybody inside, that organization. … The Humanitarians is to promote a fuller understanding of the ICRC's role in international relations, and to clear up misunderstandings.' Times Literary Supplement, 'David Forsythe's study unlocks many of the mysteries about the International Committee of the Red Cross. Based on previously unexploited sources, he provides a critical yet respectful analysis of this most important humanitarian organisation.' William A. Schabas, Director, Irish Centre for Human Rights, National University of Ireland, Galway, '… a pleasure … to read. The main reasons for this are the publication's rich informational value, its logical way of arguing and the honesty with which the author seeks to distinguish between facts and presumptions. … highly credible and convincing.' Journal of International Relations and Development, '… a solid overview and detailed account of the International Committee of the Red Cross … the book should appeal to both generalists and specialists. Students, diplomats and concerned citizens will benefit from a greater understanding of the ICRC and the Red Cross movement's history and role in the international system. Humanitarians, developmentalists/diplomats and security professionals, on the other hand, can gain from its detailed insight to the ICRC's inner workings, role in contemporary conflicts and internal dilemmas.'

Times Literary Supplement, 'The Humanitarians is to promote a fuller understanding of the ICRC's role in international relations, and to clear up misunderstandings.' Times Literary Supplement, "As Forsythe maintains, the ICRC has liberal goals and conservative means. It is fully embedded in Western democratic liberalism...but goes about promoting its liberal goals in a slow (sometimes frustratingly slow for many observers), methodical, non-confrontational way...Forsythe maintains that, with a few unfortunate examples...it has conducted itself with admirable independence." Kurt Mills, Human Rights and Human Welfare, '… a solid overview and detailed account of the International Committee of the Red Cross … the book should appeal to both generalists and specialists. Students, diplomats and concerned citizens will benefit from a greater understanding of the ICRC and the Red Cross movement's history and role in the international system.
