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\u003e 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 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\u003cb\u003e\"Of every book written by anybody associated with the Trump administration, in any way, [this] is absolutely the one to read.\"--Rachel Maddow \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA New York Times Bestseller A Washington Post Bestseller A Washington Post Notable Book of the Year\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eA Financial Times Best Book of the Year\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on her journey from the coal house to the White House, Hill exposes the fragile state of American democracy, revealing: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAn Insider's View of the Trump Administration: \u003c\/b\u003e Witness the chaos and 'autocrat envy' firsthand from her unique position as a top advisor on the National Security Council.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Rise of Populism: \u003c\/b\u003e Discover the troubling parallels between the desperation in America's heartland, post-Soviet Russia, and the hollowed-out English town she escaped.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA Crisis of Opportunity: \u003c\/b\u003e Understand how declining opportunity and the growing gap between the rich and poor threaten the very foundations of democracy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA Historic Impeachment: \u003c\/b\u003e 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\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mariner Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51947971903719,"sku":"9780063269088","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0449\/4075\/5096\/files\/imageloader_79120ca7-6832-4153-99f7-edafc3886cba.jpg?v=1775504379","url":"https:\/\/arvidabookco.com\/products\/there-is-nothing-for-you-here-finding-opportunity-in-the-twenty-first-century","provider":"Arvida Book Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
