In Wartime: Stories from Ukraine | Tim Judah

2 posts | 2 read | 3 to read

Urgent and insightful, Tim Judah's account of the human side of the conflict in Ukraine is an evocative exploration of what the second largest country in Europe feels like in wartime. Making his way from the Polish border in the west, through the capital city and the heart of the 2014 revolution, to the eastern frontline near the Russian border, seasoned war reporter Tim Judah brings a rare glimpse of the reality behind the headlines. Along the way he talks to the people living through the conflict - mothers, soldiers, businessmen, poets, politicians - whose memories of a contested past shape their attitudes, allegiances and hopes for the future. Together, their stories paint a vivid picture of a nation trapped between powerful forces, both political and historical. 'Visceral, gripping, heartbreaking' Simon Sebag Montefiore

In Wartime: Stories from Ukraine | Tim Judah

pick

In Wartime has the author traveling to the Ukraine & talking with all manner of residents about the past & future of the country. That there's little agreement on either is evidence to the situation the country is currently facing. As a former reporter on the Balkan wars Judah sees the frightening parallels.

This is excellent if disquieting reporting. I would advise a reader have at least some awareness of the 2014 Euromaiden revolution though.

MrBook Nice review 😊👍🏻 8y
