The Theater: Courage and Survival in the Defining Atrocity of the Ukraine War

"This is essential reporting about a defining atrocity of the Russo-Ukrainian War ..."

"If, at times, the narrative structure sags and the character portraits blur, it's in service to the immensity of hope and defiance extinguished by the airstrike."

"A grim reminder that war is hell, especially for civilians caught in the crossfire, The Theater is also an invaluable chronicle of an event that should not be forgotten."

"Readers should not be put off by the publisher's subtitle, 'Courage and Survival in the Defining Atrocity of the Ukraine War,' which is misguided on many levels; among other things, the war is ongoing."
