Roth has grappled with the worst of humanity, taking on the most ruthless oppressors of our time, and persuading leaders from around the globe to stand up to their repressive counterparts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe son of a Jew who fled Nazi Germany just before the war began, Roth grew up knowing full well how inhumane governments could be. He has travelled the world to meet cruelty and injustice on its home turf; he arrived in Rwanda shortly after the genocide, scrutinised the impact of Saddam's invasion of Kuwait, and investigated and condemned Israel's mistreatment of Palestinians. He directed efforts to curtail the Chinese government's persecution of Uyghur Muslims, to bring Myanmar's officials to justice after the ethnic cleansing of Rohingya Muslims, to halt Russian war crimes in Ukraine, and even to rein in the U.S. government. Roth's many innovations and strategies included the deployment of a concept as old as mankind—the powerful tool of \u003cem\u003eshaming\u003c\/em\u003e—and here he illustrates its surprising effectiveness against evildoers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRighting Wrongs\u003c\/em\u003e is a story of wins, losses, and ongoing battles in the ceaseless fight for a more decent world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46739458719980,"sku":"9780241806913","price":36.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780241806913.jpg?v=1755494333","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/righting-wrongs-9780241806913","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
