She was a waitress who was expected to accept beinggroped in the Royal and Ancient Golf Club in St Andrews and was mistaken for atypist in the Oval Office during Trump’s call with Putin—what else could theonly woman be, and what matter if she was the only Russian speaker present? A candid,insightful, and disturbing story.”

“A masterful book with remarkable depth and breadth. Fiona Hill coverseverything from deindustrialization to U.S.-Russia relations to the chaos ofworking in the Trump White House to the challenges still facing women at thehighest levels of their professions. What holds together these related butdiverse topics is her riveting, momentous biography, as well as her underlyingargument about the dangers of persistent disadvantage and lack of opportunity:despair ravaging societies, populism and authoritarianism underminingdemocracies, and lost generations and dying places. Hill raises a stark warningabout these threats, and yet she is full of ideas about how to heal ourdangerous divides. She ends the book with a wonderful guide to how people fromall walks of life—from CEOs to teachers—can contribute to solving this problem,a manifesto filled with good ideas, realistic proposals, and a healthy dose ofFiona’s seemingly endless energy. ThereIs Nothing for You Here is a wonderful and compelling read thatinterweaves its author’s amazing personal journey with deep analysis of some ofthe most urgent issues facing capitalism, democracy, and internationaldiplomacy today. It is a rare and remarkable combination.”
