Publisher's summary

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.

Engaging narrative for events significant to Russian war in Ukraine

Narration can make or break an audiobook so I’ll start by saying this narration was pleasant and varied enough to keep my attention.

The book itself was really good also. The story behind the build-up to the Maidan protests was engaging. It gives a new perspective on the Ukrainian struggle for freedom from Russian hegemony. I liked the fact that it was told from the perspective of significant actors in the revolution in addition to people who were just caught up the changes and in the military conflict that followed.
