Release and sales
A New York Times bestseller, the book discusses the situation in Sudan's Darfur region and other cases of mass atrocities. The book outlines ways in which ordinary citizens can take action to end ongoing tragedies in Darfur, northern Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo and elsewhere. Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel contributed with a foreword, and then-Senator Barack Obama and Senator Sam Brownback wrote the book's introduction. A European/UK edition of the book was published by Maverick House Publishers in August 2007.{{Cite web|title=Maverick House Publishers|url=http://www.maverickhouse.com/book.html?bid=80&title=Not%20on%20our%20Watch&no_cache=1|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120309093339/http://www.maverickhouse.com/book.html?bid=80&title=Not%20on%20our%20Watch&no_cache=1|archivedate=2012-03-09}}
