Books by Peter (University of Manchester) Gatrell

Free World? is a major contribution to the transnational history of humanitarianism in the postwar world. Peter Gatrell shows how and why the UN, NGOs, governments and individuals embarked on a unique campaign, World Refugee Year (1959-60), in response to refugee crises in Europe, the Middle East and the Far East.

Using Russian archive materials, this book examines the ability of the tsarist government and Russian industrialists to respond to the multiple challenges of war, revolution, and political reform in the early 20th century.
