PositiveThe New York Review of Books... agonizingly persuasive ... extremely important and highly readable ... Because it is a book primarily about the United States and genocide, other countries get off rather lightly. Power’s underlying assumption seems to be that only United State leadership could ensure successful action ... Power says little about improving the performance of international organizations. International will and international law are still weak and delicate, and there is no international mechanism for automatic action in cases of genocide.
