Here, Right Matters: An American Story

Alexander Vindman's memoir, "Here, Right Matters," is a powerful and moving account of his childhood as an immigrant growing up in New York City, his decorated career in service of his new home on the battlefield and at the White House, and the decisions leading up to, and fallout surrounding, his exposure of President Trump's abuse of power.

Vindman's story is one of courage, conviction, and a deep commitment to doing what is right in the face of intense pressure to stay silent.

His belief that he had done the right thing in service of his nation would lead to Trump’s impeachment and affirm Vindman's own sense of purpose and duty.

But it would also come at an enormous cost, straining relationships with colleagues, superiors, and even his own father, and eventually ending his decorated career in the US Army.

Throughout this memoir, Vindman shares his personal story with honesty, passion, and conviction, making clear why he felt compelled to speak out against President Trump's abuse of power and why he believes that doing so was essential for the future of American democracy.
