"a good selection for academic and nonacademic libraries"--RQ

As defined by Amnesty International, a political prisoner is one who is detained because of her or his belief, color, sex, sexuality, ethnic origin, language, or religion, and has not employed or advocated violence. Arranged by country, over 3,500 articles from journals, pamphlets, organizational reports, and books on political prisoners and their trials. Each entry includes a brief, descriptive annotation. Sources were gathered from the OCLC database, bibliographies of standard works in the field (e.g. Totten and Kleg's Human Rights and Harlow's Barred), the Reader's Guide from 1900 through 1991, and the Alternative Press Index.
