War Diaries, Volume 1. The Russia-Ukraine War, 2022 – 2023
It is a pleasure to announce the publication today of my latest collection of essays in a paperback edition. The book is available for inspection and purchase on Amazon websites globally.
The link to the book’s webpage on the USA site is here:
The Look Inside function allows you to peruse the Table of Contents and a few pages of the very first chapter. Regrettably, Amazon did not make available on Look Inside the Foreword and Introduction which explain very clearly what this book is and what it isn’t. However, the book description below can serve as a brief guide:
Quote
Volume 1 of War Diaries presents the author's essays on the Russia-Ukraine war from the period immediately preceding its outbreak in February 2022 to the end of 2023. The material is diverse. It includes the author's travel notes on the home front in Russia from his periodic visits to St Petersburg. He records the availability of consumer goods and services on the market of a country under the most severe sanctions in history. He records the changing mood of the man in the street and of the intelligentsia as the war progressed and an upsurge of patriotism changed Russian society, bringing forward new elites. The author closely monitored Russian media, in particular the state news and political talk shows whlch have a wide audience in Russia and reflect the views of Kremlin insiders. His observations fill the void left by the departure of mainstream journalists from Russia following the start of the Special Military Operation. There are also links and summaries of his appearances on television programs of commentary broadcast by major global English-language media such as TRT (Turkey) and WION (India) as well as on widely watched private U.S. internet channels. This book is essential reading for all those interested in how Russia fared during wartime.
