Overview
āA beautifully written evocation of Ukraine's brutal past and its shaky efforts to construct a better future.āāFinancial Times
Ukraine is gripped in a bloody crisis that has killed tens of thousands, displaced millions, and is transforming the worldās energy policies and security architecture. As celebrated journalist Anna Reid shows in Borderland, this conflict is the latest of many. Ukraine has been a borderland, and a battlefield, for more than seven centuries, from the Mongol invasion of 1240 to the Maidan protests of 2014āand, of course, the devastating Russian invasion of 2022.Ā
In this penetrating book, Reid combines research and her own experiences to chart Ukraineās tragic past and uncertain future. Talking to peasants and politicians, rabbis and racketeers, dissidents and paramilitaries, survivors of Stalinās famine and of Nazi labor camps, she reveals the layers of myth and propaganda that wrap this divided land. From the Polish churches of Lviv to the coal mines of the Donbass to the Tatar shantytowns of Crimea, the book explores Ukraineās struggle to build itself a national identity. Updated to include firsthand material from the 2022 Russia-Ukraine war, Borderland is essential reading for anyone looking to understand Ukraine and how its history is shaping its destiny.āÆĀ
