The Morning They Came For Us: Dispatches from Syria

<p>A <em>New York Post</em> Best Book of 2016<br /><br />Winner of the 2016 IWMF Courage in Journalism Award<br /><br />Winner of the 2016 Hay Festival Medal for Prose<br /><br /><br /><br />"Destined to become a classic." —Lisa Shea, <em>Elle</em></p><br /><p>A masterpiece of war reportage, <em>The Morning They Came for Us</em> bears witness to one of the most brutal internecine conflicts in recent history. Drawing from years of experience covering Syria for <em>Vanity Fair</em>, <em>Newsweek</em>, and the front page of the <em>New York Times</em>, award-winning journalist Janine di Giovanni chronicles a nation on the brink of disintegration, all written through the perspective of ordinary people. With a new epilogue, what emerges is an unflinching picture of the horrific consequences of armed conflict, one that charts an apocalyptic but at times tender story of life in a jihadist war zone. The result is an unforgettable testament to resilience in the face of nihilistic human debasement.</p>
