This book won the Pulitzer Prize in 2003 as well as other book prizes.
I read this book in 2003. It is a tour de force of brisk writing supported by excellent research.
Samantha Power, in her book, excoriated American leaders for their repeated failures to intervene in Armenia, Cambodia, pre-2002 Iraq, Bosnia, Rwanda, Srebrenica, and Kosovo to prevent genocide by the leaders there.
At the time of writing her book, she was a professor of human rights at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government.
She gained prominence and was selected by the US President to be the US Ambassador to the UN, etc.
Now, the pendulum has swung the other way. Last week, she gave an interview to the BBC, where she criticised Trump for bombing Iran.
Her position can be justified, as there is no genocide in Iran.
This book is worth a rereading.
