Description
Instant New York Times Bestseller Marie L. Yovanovitch's memoir is an inspiring and urgent account of her life as a pioneering diplomat who spent years advancing democracy in the post-Soviet world. A former US ambassador to Ukraine, she recounts her experiences with unflinching honesty, drawing on her own personal struggles and the tumultuous events that unfolded during her third ambassadorship. In 2019, Yovanovitch was targeted by a smear campaign and abruptly recalled from her post in Kyiv, amidst the first impeachment inquiry of President Trump. This memoir is a gripping narrative of chaos and pain, as she navigates the treacherous landscape of international politics while facing personal tragedy. With unflinching candour, Yovanovitch shares her experiences of corruption, injustice, and the corrosive effects of power. Hardcover, 394 pages.
