The War Came To Us

A WATERSTONES BOOK OF 2023 'A beautiful blend of memoir, reportage and history...superb.' Irish Times '...powerful and insightful...Miller provides a human dimension to a bloody conflict.' Kirkus Reviews This is a fully updated, illustrated paperback edition of the highly successful The War Came To Us, written by the leading journalist of the conflict who has lived and worked in Ukraine for over a decade, and will include a new foreword and never-before-seen photographs. Although Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine was launched in 2022, the seeds of the war were sown a decade earlier. This is the definitive, inside story of Ukraines long fight for freedom. Told through Millers 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 Ukraines modern history. With candor, wit and sensitivity, Miller captures Ukraine in all its glory: vast, defiant, resilient, and full of wonder. A 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.
