Summary:

Given unprecedented insider access, author Allen D. Hertzke charts the rise of this faith-based movement for global human rights and tells the compelling story of the personalities and forces, clashes and compromises, strategies and protests that shape it. In doing so, Hertzke shows that by raising issues--such as global religious persecution, Sudanese atrocities, North Korean gulags, and sex trafficking--the movement is impacting foreign policy around the world.
