Description
A memoir by Marie Yovanovitch, former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, recounting her experiences as a pioneering diplomat advancing democracy in the post-Soviet world and speaking truth to power during the first impeachment of President Trump.
Yovanovitch's career was marked by periods of chaos and pain, including being targeted by a smear campaign and recalled from her post in Kyiv, Ukraine. She drew on her experiences in Somalia, Russia, and other countries to navigate the complexities of diplomacy and corruption.
This memoir offers a unique perspective on the tumultuous period in which Yovanovitch found herself at the centre of events, including the first impeachment inquiry of Donald Trump.
