Lessons from the Edge : A Memoir
By (author)
Marie Yovanovitch
Lessons
From the Edge is a brilliant, engaging, and inspiring memoir from one of
America's wisest and most courageous diplomats--essential reading for current
policymakers, aspiring public servants, and anyone who cares about America's
role in the world. --Madeleine K. AlbrightAn inspiring and urgent memoir by the
ambassador who electrified the nation by speaking truth to power. By the time
she became US Ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch had seen her share of
corruption, instability, and tragedy in developing countries. But it came as a
shock when, in early 2019, she was recalled from her post after a smear
campaign by President Trump's personal attorney and his associates--men
operating outside of normal governmental channels, and apparently motivated by
personal gain. Her courageous participation in the subsequent impeachment
inquiry earned Yovanovitch the nation's respect, and her dignified response to
the president's attacks won our hearts. She has reclaimed her own narrative,
first with her lauded congressional testimony, and now with this memoir. A
child of parents who survived Soviet and Nazi terror, Yovanovitch's life and
work have taught her the preciousness of democracy as well as the dangers of
corruption. Lessons from the Edge follows the arc of her career as she develops
into the person we came to know during the impeachment proceedings.
