Critics accuse him of orchestrating an unprecedented clampdown on freedom of information and the press. This has resulted in a dramatic increase in documents and proceedings being classified secret and an overall shutdown of the free flow of information over the government's political and legal conduct. They are also concerned over what they see as alarming restrictions on the Freedom of Information Act.

Since then, the world community has adopted other human rights treaties, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966), the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (1969), and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (1981). The ACLU supports the international struggle for human rights and works to ensure that the US government abides by the civil liberties principles embedded in the various conventions, covenants and declarations adopted by the international community. In November 2001 the ACLU took strong issue with the President’s Military Order which established military tribunals as the forum for the prosecution of accused terrorists implicated in the September 11 th attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center. We argued that as a party to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the US was obligated to adhere to its terms, and that the military tribunals envisioned by the President, which included the presentation of secret evidence, would run afoul of Article 14 of the ICCPR which provides that, "everyone shall be entitled to a fair and public hearing by a competent, independent and impartial tribunal established by law." In a letter to the Secretary of Defense, the ACLU wrote, "Responding to terrorist attacks with transgressions of basic rights under international law could exacerbate the terrorism problem and invite retaliation. We can avoid these problems by honoring our democratic principles and international legal obligations".

Focusing on this gap, Professor Layton’s book shows that the revolutionary changes in world politics in the wake of WWII created new opportunities and pressure points for reforming US race policies. The Holocaust, the dismantling of colonial empires, the Cold War, and the establishment of the United Nations had a major impact in creating the Executive and Judicial branch of the Federal government shifts from a seventy year old hands-off policy to the advocacy of civil rights reform. This book further reveals how civil rights leaders utilized foreign policy issues and Cold War politics to press for domestic policy reforms in the United States. Reviews ‘In this gem of a study, Azza Layton documents an untold part of the American civil rights story and, in the process, teaches social movement theorists how international conditions can influence prospects for movement success.’Theda Skocpol, Harvard University
