Lessons from the Edge by Marie Yovanovitch
5.0
Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch is, and was many things. She has served as ambassador under three U.S. presidents: George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Donald Trump. She's also been awarded the Senior Foreign Service Performance Award six times, and the Presidential Distinguished Service Award and the Secretary’s Diplomacy in Human Rights Award. Despite this impressive life's work, she was abruptly called back to Washington in 2019 after then President Donald Trump referred to her as bad news during a phone call to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Thus begins the strange saga that Yovanovitch finds herself in. A world where tweets carry more weight than actual truth. This is not a light read, but is an important addition to the growing world of political memoirs.
