Invasión

When Vladimir Putin declared war on Ukraine and invaded the country on February 24, 2022, reporter Luke Harding was in kyiv. Since then, the correspondent has continued to send his chronicles on the ground to The Guardian newspaper and has established itself as one of the most relevant sources in the most painful event of recent times. Invasion was born from these experiences in the vanguard of the front, the first book written on the ground. With an absorbing and penetrating prose, Harding manages to make us participants in the first days of panic, the terrible atrocities committed by the Russian army in Bucha, the daily life of Ukrainians caught up in the biggest war on European soil since 1945 and the tenacious resistance of a proud people whose fight to preserve their freedom has stunned the world. Harding not only offers the keys to understand the occupation that has been a turning point in international politics. He also accurately portrays the leaders of the opposing sides in this conflict: Putin, the dictator infatuated with his imperialist ambitions, and Volodimir Zelensky, the actor turned surprise hero. Invasion captures the human stories behind the big headlines and will serve as a witness to the history books to be written about a war that changed everything.
