responsibility and opportunity in a complex and dangerous world. and like i said, that was an intimidating topic, that was an intimidating book. for me, i find as somebody who s got a book that s about to come out that i m nervous about, i find it somehow heartening to know that randomhouse had initially been the publisher for that book. when it came time to actually pull the trigger and publish power s book, randomhouse backed out, decided they didn t want to publish it. houghton mifflin said, no, we don t want to publish it, picador said, no, we don t want to interest it. sha simon and shuster said, nope. randomhouse considered it again, we were wrong the first time, looked at it again, actually, no, we are right when we turned it down. it was only because samantha power called in not so much a favor, kind of a hail mary, that she persuaded new republic books, basic books, to publish that book.
