American Exceptionalism and Human Rights
Does America still play by the rules it helped create? This book addresses this question as it applies to US behavior in relation to international human rights. It seeks to show and explain how America's approach to human rights differs from that of other Western nations. It includes essays by Stanley Hoffmann, Paul Kahn, and Harold Koh.
