About this title

Synopsis

"Anyone interested in human rights will read Robert Drinan’s informative, passionate and challenging book with deep concern and hope."—Elie Wiesel

"Father Drinan’s credentials as a humanitarian, religious leader, and thinker are unassailable. . . . His astute grasp of practical solutions to world problems enables him to debate policy as a scholar and practitioner, as well as a religious leader."—Jimmy Carter, former President of the United States

Widely known and respected for his work in international human rights, Father Robert F. Drinan here describes the history of the human rights movement since World War II and the obstacles it faces today. With clarity and force, Father Drinan discusses every important human rights issue, the performance of the United States and the United Nations, and how leaders and individuals can mobilize for a more just future.
