Lessons From The Edge: A Memoir by Yovanovitch, Marie

The book "In the Room Where It Happened" by Marie Yovanovitch is an inspiring and urgent memoir that takes readers on a journey through her remarkable career as a diplomat, from the corridors of power in Washington D.C.

to the streets of Moscow and Kyiv.

As a pioneering female diplomat who has spent her career advancing democracy in the post-Soviet world, Yovanovitch offers a unique perspective on the events that have shaped our world today. In this gripping account, she recounts her experiences as a witness to history, from the 1993 constitutional crisis in Russia to the street fighting in Moscow and the annexation of Crimea by Vladimir Putin's regime.

But it is Yovanovitch's own story that makes this book truly unforgettable - her recollection of the personal tragedy she endured while simultaneously being pulled into the first impeachment inquiry of Donald Trump, and how she emerged as a powerful voice for truth and justice in the face of unprecedented political upheaval. With its unique blend of history, politics, and personal narrative, "In the Room Where It Happened" is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the complex forces that are shaping our world today.
