The world needs more watchdogs like Kenneth Roth: principled yet worldly, insanely hard-working and resolutely non-tribal. Having run one of the world’s most effective human-rights groups for three decades, he distils his hard-earned insights in Righting Wrongs ... The book could hardly be more timely
Economist
If human rights are considered the most essential quality of human existence, then this book represents a lifetime devoted to the fight for those rights – a testament to the thoughts and experiences of a truly courageous individual. It offers a deeply insightful analysis of the global state of human rights, while also serving as a practical guide for action, aiming to inspire tangible change. This book is vibrant, passionate, and alive with purpose. It combines wisdom with a powerful idealistic spirit, making it highly relevant in today's complex political landscape, where the struggle for dignity and the rights inherent to life continue to have profound significance

In a world ravaged by polarisation and endangered by numbness, a remarkable book that will restore your faith in human beings. Brimming with wisdom, passion, resilience and courage, Ken Roth not only offers decades of experience as a leading human rights defender, but also gives us a powerful antidote to autocracy, an antidote to apathy. One of the most important books of the year, if not of the next decade
