| As Gaza entered famine early this year, I approached the journalist Jonathan Guyer with a question: What happened to Samantha Power? Twenty years ago, she had become a Pulitzer Prize–winning celebrity author by calling for the U.S. to stop atrocities worldwide. Today, as the head of USAID, she defends the Biden administration’s pro-Israel policies and practically begs the U.S. ally to let her agency feed Palestinians. What he found is someone appearing to grapple with her conscience and who was always more pragmatic than she seemed. His story is a searing portrait of an idealist who wanted to be in the most powerful room in the world. |
