Åsne Seierstad
An intimate yet epic portrait of modern Russia, from the award-winning war correspondent and bestselling author of The Bookseller of Kabul, "one of the greatest, most courageous journalists of our time" (Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation).
Today’s Russia is one of the most closed and inscrutable countries in the world. Even as its leadership tries to wield unprecedented influence, little is known about the hopes, fears, and daily struggles of its people. How can we truly understand a country that silences its citizens and targets foreign journalists—and has even made it illegal to say it is at war?
In her brave, riveting new book, bestselling journalist Åsne Seierstad travels into the heart of Russia to find answers—from the impoverished Arctic north to the cultural elites of the big cities; from pro-Putin youth groups to dissident journalists struggling to report the truth. Along the way, she takes us behind closed doors to meet Russians from all walks of life: teachers, taxi drivers, war widows, and banned writers. She gets to know a young soldier who fled the battlefield in Ukraine, and the mothers, sisters, and wives of the fallen—who may be last voices still able to protest the regime.
Drawing upon Seierstad’s deep knowledge of Russia and her unparalleled access, Never Say War paints an illuminating and expansive portrait of a misunderstood people, showing how they are navigating life under an increasingly authoritarian regime—a story with urgent resonance for readers around the world today.
批評家のレビュー
“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
