Lucid and interesting at times, Farr presents a very good insider's account behind the passage of the International Religious Freedom Act and the struggles that the agency created by the act encountered during its first couple of years of existence, even after the 9/11 attacks. Religion is quite a neglected aspect of US foreign policy indeed and Farr's book is a welcome addition to the literature. The reason I give 4/5 stars is that the pace sometimes drags at certain points in the book, for instance, when dealing with case studies involving China and Saudi Arabia. Also, there is no good concluding chapter. But aside from those, this is a good read and interesting for its arguments.
