A PROBLEM FROM HELL: AMERICA AND THE AGE OF GENOCIDE
Samantha Power
(2002)
Samantha Power
(2002)
In this powerful call to action, Power examines the history of genocides in the 20th century and condemns the United States for failing to act. Her stern interventionist talk stirred controversy and led, eventually, to an advisory spot on the Obama campaign. Her political career was temporarily derailed after she called Hillary Clinton a "monster." Power apologized and this year joined the White House, where she now sits on the National Security Council.
