When Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his unprovoked,
full-scale invasion of Ukraine just before dawn on 24 February 2022, it
marked his latest and most overt attempt to brutally conquer the
country, and reshaped the world order. Christopher Miller, the Ukraine
correspondent for the Financial Times and a foremost journalist covering
the country, was there on the ground when the first Russian missiles
struck and troops stormed over the border. But the seeds of Russia's war
against Ukraine and the West were sown more than a decade earlier.

This is the definitive, inside story of its 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. From the coal-dusted,
sunflower-covered steppe of the Donbas in the far east to the heart of
the Euromaidan revolution camp in Kyiv; from the Black Sea shores of
Crimea, where Russian troops stealthily annexed Ukraine's peninsula, to
the bloody battlefields where Cossacks roamed before the Kremlin's
warlords ruled with iron fists; and through the horror and destruction
wrought by Russian forces in Bucha, Bakhmut, Mariupol, and beyond.
