Yaroslav Trofimov, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, has written a compelling eyewitness account of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the heroism of the Ukrainian resistance. The Wall Street Journal's chief foreign-affairs correspondent, Trofimov's book is a "stunning work of eyewitness reportage and literary nuance" (Steve Coll, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Ghost Wars). It is "brilliant and stirring" (Economist) and "rich in local color" (The Times). Trofimov's writing is "vibrant and stirring" (Washington Post) and captures some of the most difficult and gruesome stories of the war. His book is a "fast-paced, unflinching witness narrative of the war's first year" (Financial Times) and "perceptive in its accounts of Russian overconfidence and the inventive, makeshift ways in which Ukrainians fought back against a larger force invading on three fronts" (Financial Times). It achieves the highest level of war reporting: a tough, detailed account that nevertheless reads like a great novel (Sebastian Junger, bestselling author of The Perfect Storm). Trofimov's book is a must-read for anyone interested in the war in Ukraine.
