  • "A Problem from Hell": America and the Age of Genocide (2002) is a book by American Samantha Power, at that time Professor of Human Rights Practice at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, which explores the United States's understanding of, response to, and inaction on genocides in the 20th century, from the Armenian genocide to the "ethnic cleansings" of the Kosovo War. It won the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize and the Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction in 2003. Power observes that American policymakers have been consistently reluctant to condemn mass atrocities as genocide or to take responsibility for leading an international military intervention. She argues that without significant pressure from the American public, policymakers have avoided the term "genocide" altogether, which came into more widespread use after the Holocaust of World War II. Instead, they appeal to the priority of national interests or argue that a U.S. response would be futile and accelerate violence, as a justification for inaction. She thinks such justifications are usually ill-founded. (en)
  • Voci dall'inferno. L'America e l'era del genocidio è un libro di Samantha Power, all'epoca docente di Human Rights Practice alla John F. Kennedy School of Government di Harvard, che esplora la conoscenza, la risposta e la mancanza di azione dell'America sui genocidi del XX secolo, dal genocidio armeno alla "pulizia etnica" della guerra del Kosovo. Ha vinto il Premio del Libro J. Anthony Lukas e il Premio Pulitzer per la saggistica nel 2003. Secondo Power, i politici americani sono sempre stati riluttanti a condannare le atrocità di massa come genocidi o ad assumersi la responsabilità di gestire un intervento militare internazionale. Lei sostiene che senza una pressione significativa da parte del popolo americano, i politici evitano il termine "genocidio" del tutto. Si appellano invece alla priorità degli interessi nazionali o sostengono (senza merito, sostiene) che una risposta statunitense sarebbe inutile e accelererebbe la violenza come giustificazione per la mancata azione.

  • Проблема из ада: Америка в век геноцида (англ. «A Problem from Hell»: America and the Age of Genocide) — книга профессора Саманты Пауэр, рассказывающая о этнических чистках (начиная от геноцида армян и заканчивая событиями в Косово) и реакции на них правительства США. В 2003 году, за написание книги, автор была удостоена Пулицеровской премии. В своей книге Саманта Пауэр пишет, что американские политики весьма неохотно характеризовали массовые злодеяния как геноцид, и если не было бы существенного давления со стороны американской общественности, политики, в угоду национальным интересам, не употребляли бы термин «геноцид». Американский президент Барак Обама, после прочтения книги, пригласил Саманту Пауэр в свою команду. (ru)
