A critical examination of how the United States has rhetorically embraced human rights in its foreign policy while often undermining them in practice. Based on extensive interviews with policymakers, military officials, and human rights advocates, Mertus exposes the contradictions and double standards in U.S. human rights policy, with the second edition updating the analysis to include developments under the later Bush administration, the Iraq War, and Afghanistan.
