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: &ldquo\;There is no thing for you here\, pet\,&rdquo\; he said. \;The coal-miner&rsquo\;s daughter managed to go further than he ever could have dreamed. She studie d 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 Stat es\, she saw troubling reflections of her hometown and similar populist im pulses. By the time she offered her brave testimony in the first \;imp eachment inquiry of President Trump\, Hill knew that the desperation of fo rgotten people was driving American politics over the brink&mdash\;and tha t we were running out of time to save ourselves from Russia&rsquo\;s fate. In this powerful\, deeply personal account\, she shares what she has lear ned\, and shows why expanding opportunity is the only long-term hope for o ur democracy. (From the publisher)
