Description
From former UN Ambassador and author of the New York Times bestseller The Education of an Idealist Samantha Power, the Pulitzer Prizewinning book on Americas repeated failure to stop genocides around the worldIn her prizewinning examination of the last century of American history, Samantha Power asks the haunting question: Why do American leaders who vow never again repeatedly fail to stop genocide?Power, a professor at the Harvard Kennedy School and the former US Ambassador to the United Nations, draws upon exclusive interviews with Washingtons top policymakers, thousands of declassified documents, and her own reporting from modern killing fields to provide the answer. A Problem from Hell shows how decent Americans inside and outside government refused to get involved despite chilling warnings, and tells the stories of the courageous Americans who risked their careers and lives in an effort to get the United States to act.A modern classic and an angry, brilliant, fiercely useful, absolutely essential book (New Republic), A Problem from Hell has forever reshaped debates about American foreign policy.Winner of the Pulitzer PrizeWinner of the Robert F. Kennedy Book AwardWinner of the National Book Critics Circle AwardWinner of the J. Anthony Lukas Book PrizeWinner of the AnisfieldWolf Book AwardWinner of the Raphael Lemkin Award
