The Dogs of Mariupol: Russia’s Invasion and the Forging of Ukraine’s Iron Generation is a powerful, on-the-ground account of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, written by journalist Tom Mutch. Waking up in Kyiv on February 24, 2022, as the full-scale war began, Mutch made the fateful decision to stay and document the conflict from inside Ukraine. Through vivid firsthand reporting, he chronicles the experiences of ordinary Ukrainians—students, lawyers, philosophers—who transformed overnight into soldiers and defenders of their homeland.
