Summary
In her award-winning interrogation of the last century of American history, Samantha Power—a former Balkan war correspondent and founding executive director of Harvard's Carr Center for Human Rights Policy—asks the haunting question: Why do American leaders who vow 'never again' repeatedly fail to stop genocide? Drawing upon exclusive interviews with Washington's top policy makers, access to newly declassified documents, and her own reporting from the modern killing fields, Power provides the answer in A Problem from Hell, a groundbreaking work that tells the stories of the courageous Americans who risked their careers and lives in an effort to get the United States to act.

This is a difficult book to listen to based on the subject of genocide. But it is a powerful book that is needed to be heard. Sadly in the 10 years since this book was published, it’s likely more genocide has occurred. I try to keep up on world news but I do feel very insulated in my safe little world. The narrator was very effective at stressing the horrors that have occurred. I hope I never forget Raphael Lemkin’s name. He tried so hard to make the world see the horrors of genocide.
