A. Kundig Press, 1944, First Edition in English, 8vo., 191 pages. Book bound in a cream colored cloth, no dust jacket. Spotting to pages including book edges and front cover. WWII Association copy Inscribed by Max Huber to Maurice Pate (Co-Founder & First Executive Director of UNICEF), with accompanying Autograph Letter Signed by Huber to Pate on Official Central Prisoners of War Agency Letterhead. Also laid in a compliment card of Howard Kershner. A museum quality presentation archive connecting three monumental figures in 20th century international humanitarian history. Inscribed and signed by the author on the front flyleaf to American hunanitarian Marrice Pate. "To Mr. Morris Pate, in memory of his visit to the Int. R.C. Committee with the kindest regards of the author, Max Huber, 10. XI. 44." Accompanied by the original autograph letter signed by Huber, written on the exact same day (10. Xi. 44), on the official wartime letterhead of the Comite International de la Croix-Rouge/Agence Centrale des Prisonniers de Guerre (Geneva). Addressed to "Dear Mr. Pate," Huber writes the following with humility regarding this gift; "May I send you in the enclosure, as I promised you, a copy of the collection of my speeches and papers on the R.C.? I do so in spite of the preface which was put into the booklet against my wishes and which says far too much about me." Laid in the volume is the original printed compliments card of American Quaker humanitarian, author, and relief operations for European children and later served as the Vice President of the International Children's Emergency Fund under Maurice Pate. Max Huber served as President of the ICRC from 1928 to 1944, navigating the complex moral and legal landscapes of WWII. Maurice Pate spent WWII directing the American Red Cross prisoners of war relief section, executing immense logistics to supply captured Allied troops via the Geneva transit networks. Just two years after this meeting, Pate co-founded UNICEF, serving as its first Executive Director from 1946 until his death in 1965. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall.…
