John Prendergast’s Not on Our Watch is widely praised for its passionate advocacy against human rights abuses and its detailed call to action, though some critics find it overly idealistic and repetitive. Its compelling narrative and practical guidance, however, make it an essential read for activists despite minor shortcomings.
Readers passionate about human rights and global activism will find Not on Our Watch by John Prendergast compelling. Those who appreciated Half the Sky by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn or I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai will be drawn to its urgent call for action against genocide and mass atrocities.
