As a memoir this is hard to put down; if you are seeking a better American future you should pick it up.”—Timothy Snyder, New York Times best-selling author of On TyrannyINSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER | A celebrated foreign policy expert and key impeachment witness reveals how declining opportunity and economic inequality has set America on the grim path of modern Russia—and draws on her personal journey out of poverty—a unique story of social mobility—as well as her unique perspectives as an historian and policy maker, to show how we can return hope to our forgotten places.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFiona Hill grew up in a world of terminal decay. The last of the local mines had closed, businesses were shuttering, and despair was etched in the faces around her. Her father urged her to get out of their blighted corner of northern England: “There is nothing for you here, pet,” he said.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe coal-miner’s daughter managed to go further than he ever could have dreamed. She studied in Moscow and at Harvard, became an American citizen, and served three U.S. Presidents. But in the heartlands of both Russia and the United States, she saw troubling reflections of her hometown and similar populist impulses. By the time she offered her brave testimony in the first impeachment inquiry of President Trump, Hill knew that the desperation of forgotten people was driving American politics over the brink—and that we were running out of time to save ourselves from Russia’s fate. In this powerful, deeply personal political memoir, she shares what she has learned, and shows why expanding opportunity is the only long-term hope for our democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Of every book written by anybody associated with the Trump administration, in any way, [this] is absolutely the one to read.”—Rachel Maddow  A New York Times Bestseller | A Washington Post Bestseller | A Washington Post Notable Book of the Year | A Financial Times Best Book of the YearDrawing on her journey from the coal house to the White House, Hill exposes the fragile state of American democracy, revealing:An Insider’s View of the Trump Administration: Witness the chaos and ‘autocrat envy’ firsthand from her unique position as a top advisor on the National Security Council.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Rise of Populism: Discover the troubling parallels between the desperation in America’s heartland, post-Soviet Russia, and the hollowed-out English town she escaped.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Crisis of Opportunity: Understand how declining opportunity and the growing gap between the rich and poor threaten the very foundations of democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Historic Impeachment: Go behind the scenes of her brave testimony and understand the stakes for American democracy as she became a key fact witness in the inquiry against President Trump.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hill, Fiona","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56455284818306,"sku":"9780063269088","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/2180\/9347\/files\/9780063269088_45f6d52e-12cd-4301-8613-d4df3b16f4e5.jpg?v=1775909119","url":"https:\/\/mountfloridabooks.com\/products\/9780063269088","provider":"Mount Florida Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
