A relentless advocate for promoting human rights  she has been heralded by President Barack Obama as one of Americas foremost thinkers on foreign policy. The Education of an Idealist traces Powers extraordinary journey  from Irish immigrant to human rights activist to United States Ambassador to the United Nations. Power began her career as a war correspondent and as a vocal critic of US foreign policy  and then put her ideals into practice while working with Obama in the Senate  on the campaign trail  and throughout his presidency. Powers perspective on government is unique  as she takes us from the streets of war-torn Bosnia to the Situation Room and out into the world of high-stakes diplomacy. In her characteristically gripping prose  Power illuminates the messy and complex worlds of politics and geopolitics while laying bare the searing battles and defining moments of her life. She also reveals what its like to juggle the demands of a 24\/7 national security job with raising two young children. And  in the face of great challenges  she shows us not just how the United States can lead  but why there is always something each of us can do to advance the cause of human dignity. The Education of an Idealist is a humorous  stirring  and ultimately unforgettable account of the world-changing power of idealism  and of one persons fierce determination to make a difference.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966734004277,"sku":"ByrdShop_0008274908","price":21.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780008274900.jpg?v=1770577305","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-education-of-an-idealist-english-and-old-english-edition","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
