The Education of an Idealist
Power Samantha
Her highly personal and reflective memoir ... is a must-read for anyone who cares about our role in a changing world' Barack Obama
THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY:
The New York Times * Time * The Economist * The Washington Post * Vanity Fair * Times Literary Supplement
'What can one person do?' In this vibrant, galvanizing memoir, human rights advocate and Pulitzer-Prize winning writer Samantha Power offers an urgent response to this question.
As she traces her path from Irish immigrant to war correspondent and activist to eventually becoming the youngest-ever US Ambassador to the United Nations, Power writes with a unique blend of suspenseful storytelling, vivid character portraits and disarming honesty.
Her account illuminates the challenges of navigating the halls of power while trying to put one's ideals into practice (and raise two young children along the way), and it shows how - even in the face of daunting challenges - each of us can make a difference.

Samantha Power dugogodišnja je suradnica Baracka Obame, a javnosti je poznata i kao dobitnica Pulitzerove nagrade za novinarstvo i književnost. Prema njezinoj vlastitoj definiciji, ona je "dijete Bosne" (rođena je u Irskoj 1970. godine, a preselila je u Sjedinjene Američke Države kada joj je bilo devet godina), gdje je bila angažirana na otkrivanju ratnih zločina i zaštiti ljudskih prava. Autorica je knjige “A problem from Hell”, u kojoj govori o američkim odgovorima na genocide počinjene u 20. stoljeću, čime je potakla debate o moralnoj odgovornosti koju imaju Sjedinjene Američke Države kao velesila. Samantha Power je u Bosnu i Hercegovinu došla 1993. godine kao freelance novinarka. Kasnije je napisala da je za nju bilo šokantno, u to je vrijeme imala 23 godine, to što su žrtve bile ciljane ne zbog onoga što su učinile nego zbog toga ko su, koje su nacionalnosti i vjeroispovijesti.
