Description

A wonderful book for academics and anyone looking for a good read on how the human rights movement was promoted or neglected during the post -cold war period in the United States. Through numerous interviews, Julie Mertus has compiled a fascinating look into the world of U.S. foreign policy and its interaction with human rights in the international community. The objectivity of the book was useful in gaining a broad perspective of various influences on human rights in the U.S. including presidential administrations, civil society, and the military.
As a student of human rights, this book helped me to gain a better understanding of the U.S.' relationship with human rights. As an avid reader, I found Bait and Switch to be an interesting and easy story to follow. I would recommend this book to anyone!
