Book cover for The Education of an Idealist: A Memoir
“What would the old Samantha Power say to the current Samantha Power?” reporters often asked. “How does the author of a book on atrocities defend the US government’s inaction in the face of mass murder in Syria?”

Samantha Power
“Despite the UN secretary-general’s grand title, he was named in the UN Charter as the administrator of the organization. For this reason, former secretary-general Kofi Annan described the position as “more secretary than general.”
Samantha Power, The Education of an Idealist: A Memoir

Rick Atkinson
“The 608-day campaign to liberate Italy would cost 312,000 Allied casualties, equivalent to 40 percent of Allied losses in the decisive campaign for northwest Europe that began at Normandy. Among the three-quarters of a million American troops to serve in Italy, total battle casualties would reach 120,000, including 23,501 killed.”
Rick Atkinson, The Day of Battle: The War in Sicily and Italy, 1943-1944

“Mount up and continue,” Patton told his armor crews. “Don’t stop except for gas.” Omar”
Rick Atkinson, The Day of Battle: The War in Sicily and Italy, 1943-1944

Rick Atkinson
“Italian troops from the Assietta and Aosta Divisions surrendered by the thousands, grousing at German betrayal. “One never seemed to be able to do enough to please them,” an Italian POW explained.”
Rick Atkinson, The Day of Battle: The War in Sicily and Italy, 1943-1944

“If the global temperature rises by 4°C over the next fifty years, as is evidently possible, the whole of the Appalachian wilderness below New England could become savanna. Already trees are dying in frightening numbers. The elms and chestnuts are long gone, the stately hemlocks and flowery dogwoods are going, and the red spruces, Fraser firs, mountain ashes, and sugar maples may be about to follow. Clearly, if ever there was a time to experience this singular wilderness, it was now.”
Bill Bryson, A Walk in the Woods: Rediscovering America on the Appalachian Trail
