Diaries of War: Two Visual Accounts from Ukraine and Russia [A Graphic Novel History]

The Diaries of War is a powerful and thought-provoking collection of illustrated accounts that chronicle two contrasting viewpoints from opposing sides of Russia's war on Ukraine.

Award-winning author Nora Krug presents a year of correspondence with two anonymous subjects - a Ukrainian journalist and a Russian artist - who share their personal experiences of loss, bravery, and survival in the face of dire uncertainty.

Through K.'s diary entries, readers are taken on an emotional journey of grief, disconnection, and resilience, while D.'s narrative provides a necessary perspective on cultural identity, guilt, and political action.

With millions displaced, injured, or killed as a result of the invasion, this book serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating effects of war on an everyday level.

The Diaries of War is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the human impact of Russia's ongoing aggression in Ukraine and the importance of critical thinking in challenging political actions of our own countries.
