“A Problem from Hell:” America and the Age of Genocide (book)

"A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide" is a book by Samantha Power that examines the U.S. government's responses to genocides in the 20th century. It highlights how, despite knowing about atrocities like the Holocaust, Rwanda, and Armenia, America often hesitated or failed to act decisively. The book explores themes of moral responsibility, geopolitical interests, and the challenges of preventing mass killings, urging the U.S. and the world to recognize and intervene in such humanitarian crises proactively to stop atrocities before they escalate.
