Recensioner
I was fascinated by this book that was largely a memoir of the Russia expert who told the story to Congress of what had happened in Ukraine - the conspiracy amongst Trumpists to sideline Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch and attempt to extort Ukraine President Zlensky in 2019. Her frequent references to her childhood and ancestry in deindustrialized North East England gave the reader an in-depth view into who she was, and where she came from. Much more of the book is about her journey - yes, not a figure of speech - through the University of Saint Andrews, multiple study trips to Russia, unexpected encounters with numerous people who opened doors for her or gave her the chance at opening ideas and changes in her life.

I thought this book would dig into the details of her time at the White House and her testimony at the Ukrainian impeachment trial. It only touched upon it but did give some examples and her opinion of her interactions w the Trump administration. Also, her insistent comparisons of the UK, US, and Russia seemed stretched at times. Never read much about how she thought the three were different. Could have been a much better book though kudos to her ideas on how to push education in the US.
2.25 stars. parts of this were really interesting - the deep down historical/political/international stuff. her personal story was important in order to highlight what she was talking about but i sometimes found myself zoning out. it is a nice discussion on class that i think sometimes gets lost in the bigger discussions about race and gender.
