There is nothing for you here : finding opportunity in the twenty-first century
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Fiona Hill grew up in a world of terminal decay: the last of northern England's coal mines had closed, businesses were shuttering, and despair was etched in the faces around her. Her father urged her to get out, saying "There is nothing for you here, pet." She went further than he ever dreamed: She studied in Moscow and at Harvard, became an American citizen, and served 3 U. S. Presidents. But in both Russia and the U. S., 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, she knew that the desperation of forgotten people was driving American politics over the edge--and that time was running out to save the U. S. 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 American democracy.
