(She is a Brookings Institution fellow for a reason, I suppose.) I about choked when, right near the end of the book, Hill not only gave credit to the Trump administration for what were clearly holdover economic effects from the Obama administration, but also spoke with approval of J.D. Vance—a man about whom the most charitable thing I can say is “thundering gobshite.” There’s little here that’s new, either in terms of proposals for change or information about either the Trump administration, the U.K. or Putin’s Russia, unless you’re really new to any works on them. Readable, but not essential. ( ) siriaeve | Jun 16, 2022 | rehpii | Mar 27, 2022 | keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: "This book has a miraculous quality.... 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 Tyranny INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER | A celebrated foreign policy expert and key impeachment witness reveals how declining opportunity has set America on the grim path of modern Russia??and draws on her personal journey out of poverty, as well as her unique perspectives as an historian and policy maker, to show how we can return hope to our forgotten places. Fiona 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. The 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 account, she shares what she has learned, and shows why expanding opportunity is the only long-term hope for our democracy. "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 Year Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
