Summary:
"A breathtaking exploration of
Ukraine
's past, present, and future, and a heartbreaking account of the war against Russia, written by the leading
journalist
of the conflict. When Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his unprovoked, full-scale invasion of
Ukraine
just before dawn on 24 February 2022, it marked his latest and most overt attempt to brutally conquer the country, and reshaped the world order.
Christopher
Miller
, the
Ukraine
correspondent for the Financial Times and the foremost
journalist
covering the country, was there on the ground when the first Russian missiles struck and troops stormed over the border. But the seeds of Russia's war against
Ukraine
and the West were sown more than a decade earlier. This is the definitive, inside story of its long fight for freedom. Told through
Miller
's personal experiences, vivid front-line dispatches and illuminating interviews with unforgettable characters, The War Came To Us takes readers on a riveting journey through the key locales and pivotal events of
Ukraine
's modern history. From the coal-dusted, sunflower-covered steppe of the Donbas in the far east to the heart of the Euromaidan revolution camp in Kyiv; from the Black Sea shores of Crimea, where Russian troops stealthily annexed
Ukraine
's peninsula, to the bloody battlefields where Cossacks roamed before the Kremlin's warlords ruled with iron fists; and through the horror and destruction wrought by Russian forces in Bucha, Bakhmut, Mariupol, and beyond. With candor, wit and sensitivity,
Miller
captures
Ukraine
in all its vast, defiant, resilient, and full of wonder. A breathtaking narrative that is at times both poignant and inspiring, The War Came To Us is the story of an American who fell in love with a foreign place and its people
--
and witnessed them do extraordinary things to escape the long shadow of their former imperial ruler and preserve their independence."--Publisher.
