Here, Right Matters by Alexander Vindman
Here, Right Matters by Alexander Vindman Book Summary
Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman, who found himself at the center of a firestorm for his decision to report the infamous phone call that led to presidential impeachment, tells his own story for the first time. Here, Right Matters is a stirring account of Vindman's childhood as an immigrant growing up in New York City, his 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.
0900, Thursday, July 25, 2019: President Trump called Ukraine’s President Zelensky, supposedly to congratulate him on his recent victory. In the months that followed, the American public would only learn what happened on that call because Alexander Vindman felt duty-bound to report it up the chain of command: that the President of the United States had extorted a foreign ally to damage a political challenger at home. Vindman’s actions and subsequent testimony before congress would lead to Trump’s impeachment and affirm Vindman's belief that he had done the right thing in the face of intense pressure to stay silent. But it would come at an enormous cost, straining relationships with colleagues, superiors, and even his own father, and eventually end his decorated career in the US Army, by a Trump administration intent on retribution.
Here, Right Matters is Vindman’s proud, passionate, and candid account of his 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 throughout his education and military service. As this memoir makes clear, his decision to speak up about the July 25th call was never a choice: it was Vindman’s duty, as a naturalized citizen and member of the armed forces. In the wake of his testimony, he would endure furious partisan attacks on his record and his loyalty. But far louder was the extraordinary chorus of support from citizens who were collectively intent on reaffirming an abiding American commitment to integrity.
In 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. Here, Right Matters is about the quiet heroes who keep us safe; but, above all, it is a call to arms for those who refuse to let America betray its true self.

A True Patriot. Thank you four service and bravery in defense of our country and it’s enduring values.
Insightful read. This was a fascinating read. The author in detail describes his military career and the development of his thought processes & moral compass, followed by a detailed discussion of the Trump chicanery over delaying Ukrainian military support in exchange for a bogus investigation of Biden & his son. It tracks with the books I read by Fiona Hill & John Bolton. It is frightening to realize how precarious our democracy is when attacked by corrupt political assassins, led by, as Mark Antony said, “honorable men.”
Excellent- could not put it down.. Just finished and this is one time when I wish that I could reach out to the author to say how much I appreciate his service. I think that I’ll be thinking about this for days… he did the only thing possible and both lost his career and saved our country in the process. Thank you.
Garbage. I’m a wounded veteran. This guy is an embarrassment to the military. Not for opposing Trump. He’s an embarrassment for lying to undermine Trump. Garbage human being
Integrity. It takes integrity and strength to affirm and demonstrate that, “Here, Right Matters”. Thank you for writing this personal and inspiring account, but, most especially thank you for your integrity, service and dedication to America.
Bravery vs the bully. This man’s bravery is what this country was once built on, but now seldom acted upon. I followed Lt Col Vindman during his Congressional testimony and felt his love and devotion to the nation, constitution and the military. Too bad Mr Trump had corrupted the higher ups in the military. Great book and every American should read it.
THE PATRIOT. To LTC ALEX VINDMAN (Ret.) As an American and as a human being, I could not be prouder to call you my hero and thank you for writing this book.
