Customer Reviews

A most gripping and informative memoir

Samantha Power’s memoir reads like a thriller, while giving profound insight into international affairs. This book provides intriguing insider knowledge into recent US and international history. Samantha Power never misses a beat, as she brilliantly weaves brief interludes of juggling her family life with the main story of her political career, from being a human rights activist to former US Ambassador to the UN. This is one of the most impressive and moving books I have ever read!
