Many Catholic priests, nuns, and brothers in the United States take a strong interest in US policies that affect their 'brothers and sisters' abroad. This book reveals how the men and women of these orders became politically active in complex and sometimes controversial causes and how, ultimately, they exert a influence on foreign policy.
