| Using in-depth personal interviews, James Billups taps the
hard-won wisdom, insights, and expertise of fifteen 20th century social work notables from
13 countries. These revealing interviews provide readers with accounts of often risky
social work activism and capture the broad vision, the wide repertoire of practice
approaches, and the major achievements of these courageous leaders. Faithful Angels
details the outstanding contributions of a group of extraordinary men and women who have
helped advance social work, social development, and human realization in their own
societies, across national boundaries, and, in many instances, around the globe. An
important text for social work students, practitioners, and social historians, Faithful
Angels is a unique and illuminating reference book that expands the reader's
historical knowledge, practice perspective, and appreciation for the international scope
of the profession.
