There Is Nothing for You Here

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 The rare Trump insider memoir that doesn't obsess over Trump . . . As it turns out, we should have paid more attention to Hill's life story. Though her book does feature first-person accounts of Trump and his inner circle, There is Nothing for You Here is a more ambitious and personal effort. --The Washington Post Hill is a lucid writer, delivering her reminiscences in a vivid and wry style. . . . with immediacy, tenderness and a good bit of gallows humor. --The New York Times 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. --The Guardian Full of startling and unsettling insights into how Trump dealt with foreign leaders and his 'autocrat envy.' Hill's book is also a compelling memoir about her journey from a working-class background in northern England to the corridors of power in Washington. Her background gives her particular insight into the social and economic forces driving the rise of populism in the US, UK and Russia. --Gideon Rachman, Best books of 2021, Financial Times The alarm [Hill] sounds is urgent . . . She sees striking similarities between the impoverished region of her roots and disadvantaged areas of both America and Russia. . . . Her journey from disadvantaged origins to success has echoes of the bestselling tales of Tara Westover's Educated and J.D. Vance's Hillbilly Elegy. --Economist This book has a miraculous quality. Fiona Hill has transformed her own predicaments in the Trump administration into a prescription for a better America. Known as an outstanding expert on Russia and an exemplary public servant, she reveals herself here as a wise observer and a beautiful writer. As a memoir this is hard to put down; if you are seeking a better American future you should pick it up. --Timothy Snyder, Yale University, New York Times best-selling author of On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century [An] ambitious, immensely compelling memoir, Hill interweaves her interesting life story with events and issues she has continued to observe during her career . . . The author persuasively argues that America may be heading in a similar direction to Russia unless we address the crucial challenges facing much of the country, specifically regarding education, health care, and job opportunities. Drawing insightful parallels between Trump and Putin, she unpacks how the threat of populism can quickly undermine democracy . . . A shrewd, absorbing memoir that casts a sharp eye on America's future while offering feasible solutions for change. --Kirkus Reviews, *starred* review Valuable and riveting . . . Hill's personal, professional and political lives form a coherent whole so that each part illuminates the other . . . a memoir that will give pleasure to readers today -- and will be an important document for historians of the future. --Financial Times Riveting...compelling...Hill deftly combines three books into one to great effect...This is not a kiss-and-tell account, but what she does relate of her interactions with the president is in every case worth telling. --Foreign Affairs
