The Education of an Idealist

A Memoir

Samantha Power

A powerful and galvanizing memoir tracing the author's journey from immigrant to war correspondent to presidential Cabinet official. The book offers an urgent response to the question "What can one person do?" and a call for a clearer eye, a kinder heart, and a more open and civil hand in our politics and daily lives. Power transports us from her childhood in Dublin to the White House Situation Room and the world of high-stakes diplomacy, revealing the intricacies of politics and geopolitics and reminding us how the United States can lead in the world.
