Recommendation

You may recall Fiona Hill as a witness at President Donald Trump’s 2019 impeachment hearing. Escaping a fading industrial town to attend Harvard, Hill offers two books in one: a political memoir with a headliner’s version of national events and a study in the decline of manufacturing economies in the United Kingdom, United States and Russia – with Hill’s impoverished youth as a telling reference. Her economic rise gives Hill a unique perspective on the world’s widening inequities.

Take-Aways

  • Fiona Hill grew up in a poor town in England’s hardscrabble North East.
  • In her experience, the British denote each person’s place in the class system from birth. 
  • As a foreign affairs student, Hill found Russia’s post-Soviet economy similar to that of the North East of England.
