Full Description
When
Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, thousands of Ukrainian citizens strapped on
armour, picked up weapons and chose to risk their lives for the freedom of
their homeland. Many would never return. Choosing to stay in Ukraine and cover
the invasion, journalist Tom Mutch witnessed the forging of an 'iron generation'
of young Ukrainians.
With
first-hand reporting from all the major battlegrounds and front lines, The
Dogs of Mariupol recounts not only the war's notorious encounters but also
its untold stories, painstakingly documenting the immense human catastrophe
wrought on Ukrainian society and the divisions between those who fought and
those who fled.
After
four years of conflict, Ukraine holds on, but a peace agreement remains elusive.
Meanwhile, the death toll only rises. In this revised and expanded edition, Tom
Mutch charts the struggles behind the headlines - both of ordinary Ukrainians
and their wartime leaders - and positions the invasion within the changing face
of warfare and the breakdown of the global order itself.
