He then provides the rich history of the Anarchist Red Cross spanning the time from the Revolution to his settling in the US where he dedicated his life and his book \"to the Fighters for Freedom, Humanism and Justice, to those who endeavored to help these fighters by applying the principle of mutual aid.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn telling why an anarchist relief organization became necessary he calls attention to a neglected aspect of revolutionary history--the sabotage and discrimination of many social-democrats against their fellow-prisoners and in the outside relief organizations. Of the vast sums collected all over the world, from Czarist times up through the 1950s when the book was written, very little reached the anarchist prisoners.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith newly translated material, and over a dozen beautiful illustrations by N.O.
