The War Came To Us: Life and Death in Ukraine - Updated Illustrated Edition

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 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 includes 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.
