    A foreign affairs journalist for 60 years, Jonathan Power has traveled all over the world, writing, besides his column in the International Herald Tribune and the New York Times, long articles for Encounter and Prospect magazines, eight books on foreign affairs and many TV and radio documentaries, mainly for the BBC, one of which won the silver medal at the Venice Film Festival. Power has probably been published on the opinion pages of the principal US newspapers more than any other European. He has interviewed over 70 of the world's most famous and influential presidents, prime ministers, and political and literary icons including Ignacio Lula da Silva, Indira Gandhi, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Georgi Arbatov, Sonia Gandhi, Willy Brandt, Helmut Schmidt, Olusegun Obasanjo, Julius Nyerere, James Baldwin, Andy Young, Jesse Jackson, Manmohan Singh and Paul McCartney. Notably, Power was the first journalist to report at length in English on the trafficking of African migrants across the Sahara and into France. This inspired his first novel, "The Human Flow"- a love story set against the backdrop of the migrant flow from West Africa to Paris and London. In addition to his writing, Power has consulted for organizations such as the Aspen Institute, the International Red Cross, the World Council of Churches, and the International Fund for Agricultural Development, UNICEF, and the Catholic Church¿s Commission for Justice and Peace in England and Wales.

    William Pfaf, often said to be America's leading commentator on foreign affairs, wrote in a review of Conundrums of Humanity in Prospect magazine, "When Jonathan Power told a friend that the book he was writing was meant to solve 11 of the most formidable contemporary threats to peace and human rights, the friend replied that Power must be bidding for the Nobel prize. George Bernard Shaw once said that all progress depends on the unreasonable man. The reasonable man adapts himself to the world as it is, but the unreasonable man is determined to change it. This book is filled with reason, good sense and optimism. His is a powerful statement of ways to make the world better. He is unreasonably good, as demonstrated by his commitment to the developing world, the fortunes of the poor, the defense of human rights, and his devotion to the society's progress. Is that worth the Nobel prize. I say, why not?" Conundrums of Humanity covers the 'clash of civilizations', nuclear disarmament, war, hunger, human rights, human development, the future of Africa, the United Nations, and China and India's rise and rivalry.
