A vivid and intimate account of the Ukrainian Revolution, the rare moment when the political became the existential

What is worth dying for? While the world watched the uprising on the Maidan as an episode in geopolitics, those in Ukraine during the extraordinary winter of 2013-14 lived the revolution as an existential transformation: the blurring of night and day, the loss of a sense of time, the sudden disappearance of fear, the imperative to make choices.

In this lyrical and intimate book, Marci Shore evokes the human face of the Ukrainian Revolution. Grounded in the true stories of activists and soldiers, parents, and children, Shore's book blends a narrative of suspenseful choices with a historian's reflections on what revolution is and what it means. She gently sets her portraits of individual revolutionaries against the past as they understand it—and the future as they hope to make it. In so doing, she provides a lesson about human solidarity in a world, our world, where the boundary between reality and fiction is ever more effaced.

A must read about Ukraine. I wish the narrator sounded less like Siri. Still recommend.

Great book, not so great narration

I had hoped this book would recount the amazing story of The Revolution of Dignity but alas it does not. The amount of times Ukrainian nationalism is brought up in a book about Ukrainians freedom is perplexing. The throw away notion that half the county is russian is disgraceful. The small amount of time dedicated to the heavenly hundred is shameful. It looks to westsplain away russias continuous crimes. Avoid this book.

Amplification of russian talking points.
