The Education of an Idealist: A Memoir by Samantha Power

5.0

This memoir single-handedly solidifies why Samantha Power has been one of my idols since I first learned of her in 2006-ish. Such a nicely balanced book of her education, her career ascent, her views and policy opinions and her family / personal life. I learned so much, and it helped to hear her voice in my ear for 21 hours - such a dream! When she referenced John Prendergast, I nearly fainted - my crush from meeting him back in 2006 has clearly never faded… and she spoke just as highly of him as he did of her (I still remember!).
