Reading Samantha Power: Chasing the Flame

  • Flame_large

Samantha Power takes some time off from advising Obama to discuss her upcoming book Chasing the Flame: Sergio Vieira de Mello and the Fight to Save the World. Vieira de Mello was killed in a hotel bombing while serving as a United Nations special representative in Iraq. Before this untimely end, however, he had a long history of human-rights advocacy — an issue that is also at the heart of Power's own work. A Pulitzer Prize-winning author and an esteemed professor at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, Power is best known for her critical history A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide.
