In the months to follow, the American public would learn what only Alexander Vindman was courageous enough to bring to light: on that call, the President of the United States extorted a foreign ally to bring down a political challenger at home. Vindman’s actions would lead to Trump’s impeachment. It would also lead to the end of Vindman’s decorated career in the US Army, in retribution for his public testimony before Congress. \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp style=\"color: #545454; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 12px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHere, Right Matters\u003c\/em\u003e is the story of Vindman’s family, his career, and the moment of truth he faced for his nation. As an immigrant, raised by a father who fled the Soviet Union in pursuit of a better life for his children, Vindman learned about respect for truth and fact throughout his education and military training in his new home country. Speaking up about what happened on July 25th was never a choice: it was Vindman’s duty, as a naturalized citizen and member of the armed forces. And far louder than the partisan attacks he endured in the wake of his testimony was an extraordinary chorus of support from citizens who were collectively intent on reaffirming an abiding American commitment to integrity.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp style=\"color: #545454; font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 12px;\"\u003eIn the face of a sure-fire career derailment and public excoriation, Vindman heeded the lessons from the people and institutions who instilled in him the moral compass and the courage to act decisively. Like so many other American immigrant families, the Vindmans had to learn to build a life from scratch and take big risks to achieve important goals. \u003cem\u003eHere, Right Matters\u003c\/em\u003e is about the quiet heroes who keep us safe; but, above all, it is a call to arms for those of us who refuse to let America betray its true self.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HARPER COLLINS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44457921085577,"sku":"9780063079427","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0376\/3057\/4729\/files\/ec84154654806e9a6c2da4b2e1d1fc5e48cd7a5e.jpg?v=1757059926","url":"https:\/\/thebookmarkpr.com\/products\/here-right-matters","provider":"The Bookmark Books \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
