How War Begins: Dispatches from the Ukrainian Invasion [Hardcover]

In 2022, Igort, an acclaimed Italian cartoonist, began taking down the testimonies of Ukrainians during the Russian invasion. He turned them into online comics journalism, collected here for the first time in English. A harrowing work of graphic journalism. ... These dispatches make the scope of the war (nothing epic, no glory: only misery) both easier to grasp and that much harder to witness. A fascinating and insightful look at civilian perseverance in an active war zone. A poignant portrait of Ukraine's struggle... Igorts stories of Ukraine are about a specific time and place but are very much a much broader examination of the cost of these wars on our societies.
