A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide by Samantha Power

4.0

I thought this was an excellent book. Powers has done a really good job of presenting a lot of information in a very readable way.

Does it present the U.S. as this horrible country that never helps anyone? I don't think so, but you could certainly read it that way. I found it particularly interesting to read while we're witnessing what some will argue, is genocide in Myanmar. Those who don't learn from history...
