“In this captivating chronicle of her improbable life, Fiona Hill takes us from a Northern England of idled coal mines and deindustrialization to Trump’s Oval Office, demonstrating how individual biography can illuminate far broader issues of world affairs. Her book represents a stern and essential warning about the global threats to democracy and their root causes in a worldwide crisis of opportunity.” –Drew Gilpin Faust, President Emerita and Arthur Kingsley Porter University Professor, Harvard University “Fiona Hill knows all too well the threats posed by Russia and the Trump administration, but this well-written, analytically sophisticated autobiography is focused on an even more dangerous crisis: the vast and growing opportunity gap in the United States and much of the rest of the world. Her personal story of upward mobility from the distressed coal fields of northern England to the White House is, as she knows, ‘a fluke.’ That is precisely what makes this remarkable book must reading for anyone concerned about our country’s future.” –Robert D. Putnam, Professor of Public Policy, Harvard Kennedy School, and New York Times best-selling author of Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis and The Upswing: How America Came Together a Century Ago and How We Can Do It Again “Fiona Hill is what the miners of County Durham called a ‘clever lass’ whose talents took her from England to Putin’s Russia and to the Trump White House. She has lived through the social and economic disintegration of England, Russia, and America, and has the close-up experience to draw new parallels between Putin and Trump. She was a waitress who was expected to accept being groped in the Royal and Ancient Golf Club in St Andrews and was mistaken for a typist in the Oval Office during Trump’s call with Putin–what else could the only woman be, and what matter if she was the only Russian speaker present? A candid, insightful, and disturbing story.” –Sir Angus Deaton, Nobel Prize winner and co-author of the New York Times best-selling Deaths of Despair and the Future of Capitalism “A masterful book with remarkable depth and breadth. Fiona Hill covers everything from deindustrialization to U.S.-Russia relations to the chaos of working in the Trump White House to the challenges still facing women at the highest levels of their professions. What holds together these related but diverse topics is her riveting, momentous biography, as well as her underlying argument about the dangers of persistent disadvantage and lack of opportunity: despair ravaging societies, populism and authoritarianism undermining democracies, and lost generations and dying places. Hill raises a stark warning about these threats, and yet she is full of ideas about how to heal our dangerous divides. She ends the book with a wonderful guide to how people from all walks of life–from CEOs to teachers–can contribute to solving this problem, a manifesto filled with good ideas, realistic proposals, and a healthy dose of Fiona’s seemingly endless energy. There Is Nothing for You Here is a wonderful and compelling read that interweaves its author’s amazing personal journey with deep analysis of some of the most urgent issues facing capitalism, democracy, and international diplomacy today. It is a rare and remarkable combination.” –Carol Graham, Leo Pasvolsky Senior Fellow, Brookings Institution and College Park Professor, University of Maryland School of Public Policy, Thoughtful…compelling….While other Trump-era memoirs have focused solely on the carnival, Hill’s scope pans out to the wounded country that put him in office, and then wider still, across the Atlantic to Britain and then across Europe to Russia., “Fiona Hill knows all too well the threats posed by Russia and the Trump administration, but this well-written, analytically sophisticated autobiography is focused on an even more dangerous crisis: the vast and growing opportunity gap in the United States and much of the rest of the world.

Synopsis
“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, “Of every book written by anybody associated with the Trump administration, in any way, [this] is absolutely the one to read.” –Rachel Maddow 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.
