Pulitzer Prize-winning study by former UN ambassador Samantha Power on America's persistent inability to halt genocides worldwide

Samantha Power poses a troubling question in her Pulitzer Prize-winning analysis of the last century in American history: Why do American leaders who make the commitment to "never again" keep failing to put an end to genocide? In order to offer the answer, Power—a Harvard Kennedy School professor and former US ambassador to the UN—consults hundreds of declassified papers, has private conversations with senior Washington leaders, and bases her own research on current killing fields. "A Problem from Hell" relates the tales of the brave Americans who risked their careers and lives to persuade the United States to intervene, and also demonstrates how honorable Americans both within and outside of government chose not to get involved despite terrifying warnings. "A Problem from Hell" is a contemporary classic that has permanently changed the way people discuss US foreign policy.
