Her recent book, "A Problem from Hell": America and the Age of Genocide, was awarded the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for general non-fiction, the 2003 National Book Critics Circle Award for general non-fiction, and the Council on Foreign Relations' Arthur Ross Prize for the best book in U.S. foreign policy. Power was the founding executive director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy (1998-2002). From 1993-1996, Power covered the wars in the former Yugoslavia as a reporter for the U.S. News and World Report, the Boston Globe, and the Economist. A graduate of Yale University and Harvard Law School, she moved to the United States from Ireland at the age of nine.

She was also a featured speaker at the Armenian Genocide commemorative program in San Francisco, among a host of other Armenian American community engagements.

Long Live Armenia! Long Live truth and justice! This is not 1915, Armenians will not rest until the genocide is recognised by every nation. Down with the deniers and lets face it, Turkey is not the only country that denies it!
