The book recounts the experiences and efforts of the American Red Cross during World War I, focusing on its humanitarian work in France. The narrative provides insights into the challenges faced by the organization and the dedication of its volunteers in supporting American soldiers, often referred to as "doughboys," during their service overseas. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the context surrounding America's entry into World War I, emphasizing the urgency with which the American Red Cross prepared for the conflict. Hungerford illustrates how the Red Cross had been anticipating the war and had begun organizing their efforts even before the official declaration of war in April 1917. The narrative highlights the initial steps taken by the Red Cross, including the formation of a commission to go to France, and sets the stage for the extensive relief efforts that would follow. Throughout the early chapters, the author captures the spirit with which these humanitarian efforts were undertaken, underscoring themes of patriotism and altruism during a time of great need.
