SHORTLISTED FOR THE WITOLD PILECKI INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARD SPECIAL PRIZE A WATERSTONES BOOK OF 2023 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 Ukraine's 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. 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.
