Title
Chasing the Flame: Sergio Vieira de Mello and the Fight to Save the World by Samantha Power-Hardcover
Power, who first met Vieira de Mello in Bosnia in 1994, presents a nuanced portrait of a charismatic yet imperfect figure—respected for his dedication but not without flaws. Critics praised her meticulous research, though some felt her arguments lacked full persuasiveness. They also noted that while her narrative is densely layered, it reaches its most powerful point in the closing chapters describing Vieira de Mello’s final moments.
Serving both as a biography and a critique of the United Nations’ limitations in peacekeeping, the book, though occasionally slow-paced, is regarded as an important work for understanding international diplomacy and the challenges of pursuing global justice.
