A vivid and intimate account of the Ukrainian Revolution, the rare moment when the political became the existential [Shores] history entails an extraordinary declaration of the power of human will and self-determination.Kate Brown, Times Literary Supplement 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 201314 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, Shores book blends a narrative of suspenseful choices with a historians reflections on what revolution is and what it means. She gently sets her portraits of individual revolutionaries against the past as they understand itand 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
