| Summary: | "Between Justice and Politics is a history of the first fifty years of the Ligue des droits de l'homme - the League of the Rights of Man. This is the first book-length study of the League in any language, and it is informed by the recently available archives of the organization. Founded during the Dreyfus Affair, the League took as its mandate the defense of human rights in all their forms. The central argument of this book - and the point on which it differs from all other writings on the subject - is that the League often failed to live up to its mandate because of its simultaneous commitment to left-wing politics."--BOOK JACKET. |
