“A totally unprecedented, behind the scenes portrait of Putin's Russia at war. Astonishing. A major work.”
—Antony Beevor, author of Russia: Revolution and Civil War and The Second World War
“I really loved Never Say War. I found it hypnotically good, in fact. Åsne Seierstad has imparted a sense of the Russians, in this ‘at war under Putin’s thumb’ era in a way I have not experienced before. Once again, she has outdone herself with a book that reveals some of the deep and troubling truths about our time. In her telling, Putin’s Russians emerge as a unique people, big-hearted, black-humored and self-reliant, but nurtured by a tragic sense of their own history. Governed by a ruler without compassion and in the absence if any rule of law, they are condemned to faceless conformity or else, for those heroically doomed exceptions, recklessly romantic lives of sacrifice and oppression.”
—Jon Lee Anderson, author of Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life and To Lose a War: The Rise and Fall of the Taliban
