From northern England’s coal mines to the inner circle of the White House, “There Is Nothing for You Here” is Fiona Hill’s memoir and political prescription for helping us prepare a better future。Hill was born into a coal mining family and poverty。 The book’s title comes from words her father said, urging her to get out of the area, “there’s nothing here for you。” She went off to study Russian and history in Scotland, Moscow and Harvard, all preparing her to serve 3 administrations in Russian & From northern England’s coal mines to the inner circle of the White House, “There Is Nothing for You Here” is Fiona Hill’s memoir and political prescription for helping us prepare a better future。Hill was born into a coal mining family and poverty。 The book’s title comes from words her father said, urging her to get out of the area, “there’s nothing here for you。” She went off to study Russian and history in Scotland, Moscow and Harvard, all preparing her to serve 3 administrations in Russian & European policy。The book provides a very detailed look at her childhood and life in northern England with descriptive prose that’s not typical of most political writers; I enjoyed it。 Her accounting of events in the White House and with President Trump seem somewhat circumspect to me。 Hill has an unique assessment of Trump and his relationship with Putin, (no, she doesn’t think he worked for him!), that also involves the current path America is heading towards Socialism/Communism。 Because of her early life in English coal country, time in Russia and years in the USA and DC, Hill is able to comment on personal experience as well as historical events and future possibilities concerning Russia。Many political writers will give their grand ideas, helpful tips, platitudes for fixing everything that ails our country。 Most of it is highly partisan, impossible to accomplish or some buzz phrase being bandied about cyberspace。 Hill provides quite a detailed collection of suggestions that are broken down by people groups, ages, access and makes specific suggestions rather than broad generalizations。 She draws on all her life’s experience and makes this portion of the book real and achievable for everyone at any age or economic level。 This is the summary, the subtitle - “Finding Opportunity in the Twenty-First Century” and it’s here that Hill’s writing comes to its best📚 。。。more
