After her critiques of US foreign\u003cbr\u003epolicy caught the eye of Senator Barack Obama, he invited her to work with him\u003cbr\u003eon Capitol Hill and then on his presidential campaign. When Obama won the\u003cbr\u003epresidency, Power went from being an activist outsider to serving as his human\u003cbr\u003erights adviser and, in 2013, becoming the youngest-ever US Ambassador to the\u003cbr\u003eUnited Nations. Power transports us from her childhood in Dublin to the streets\u003cbr\u003eof war-torn Bosnia to the White House Situation Room and the world of\u003cbr\u003ehigh-stakes diplomacy, offering a compelling and deeply honest look at\u003cbr\u003enavigating the halls of power while trying to put one's ideals into practice.\u003cbr\u003eAlong the way, she lays bare the searing battles and defining moments of her\u003cbr\u003elife, shows how she juggled the demands of a 24\/7 national security job with\u003cbr\u003eraising two young children, and makes the case for how we each can advance the cause\u003cbr\u003eof human dignity. This is an unforgettable account of the power of idealism--and\u003cbr\u003eof one person's fierce determination to make a difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This is a wonderful book.
