Christopher Miller's introduction to Ukraine was as a Peace Corp worker in the Donbas before the Euromaidan Revolution and after his Peace Corp stint, he stayed as a journalist. He is an American but his heart is Ukrainian. He gives western readers an up-close perspective of a wide range of life experiences in Ukraine, including life in the Donbas before and after the 2014 invasion and what's happening there now. He takes readers on a survey of contemporary Ukrainian life under the shadow of the genocidal dictator next door. This is an eye-witness history of Ukraine from the mid-2000s until now. A must-read for any westerner trying to understand what it means to be Ukrainian right now.
