About this book

"Lawyer and Meiklejohn Civil Liberties Institute executive director Ann Fagan Ginger has created an accessible, well-organized reference work that identifies all the relevant facts in almost two hundred reports on thirty types of human-rights violations; describes executive orders and new laws that violate basic rights; extensively quotes the US Constitution and the UN Charter, as well as other human rights and international law treaties the United States has ratified or signed; and describes some successful efforts to combat the government's suppression of our basic liberties." --Book Jacket.
