The paired TED talk
A complicated hero in the war on dictatorship (2008), the TED talk by Samantha Power.
From the publisher
In her memoir, Power 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. The Education of an Idealist traces Power's distinctly American journey from immigrant to war correspondent to presidential Cabinet official.
