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

5.0

Power provides an excellent thesis-as-lens on America's reaction to, and level of (non)involvement in, genocides occurring around the world in the 20th century. I would recommend having read some work of scholarly or academic bent on these countries and aggressors before picking up Power'a tome, but I appreciated her argumentation (and, bias here since I agree) and position. Thanks to Power, I'm off to learn more about Iraq and Kosovo.
