In New Memoir, Samantha Power Describes Going From Idealist To Diplomat
NPR's Noel King speaks with Samantha Power about her memoir The Education of an Idealist. In her book, Power describes how she went from working outside the system to moving inside, as a diplomat.
Samantha Power has been many things: an activist, a war correspondent, an author and a policymaker.
She served on President Obama's National Security Council, and later, she was his ambassador to the United Nations.
In her, she describes how she went from working outside the system â as a fierce and idealistic defender of human rights â to moving inside, as a diplomat who must, above all else, be ... diplomatic.
