 "This gripping story is the literary equivalent of a superb miniature painting. Each street-level detail illuminates a bigger truth: why Ukraine succeeded in resisting Russia’s shock and awe onslaught last year, and how Moscow’s brazen attempt to subjugate an "

independent nation failed. Putin assumed that ordinary Ukrainians would welcome his expeditionary force. He was wrong and deluded." (Luke Harding, The Guardian, 26 June 2023)
