What People Are Saying
“Portraits of Ukraine A Nation at War, by the American diplomat Gregory W. Slayton and Sergei Ivashenko, is a real-world demonstration of resilience; this beautiful volume offers many insights into Ukraine’s rich history, culture, politics and religious traditions. With more than 300 illustrations, it puts the reader on the ground. The final chapter, ‘Why Support Ukraine,’ is an especially compelling argument for why the U.S. must stand by its ally.”

“Seldom does a book appear that provides as comprehensive a treatment of its subject matter as does Portraits of Ukraine. The authors present an excellent overview of Ukraine in a highly readable volume complemented with photos and descriptions that serve to strengthen the overall narrative. The 280-page book is packed with 310 often dramatic images. It is good to see a book that presents Ukraine’s history, its struggles, the resolve and determination of its people, and the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the country. As such, the book is an important contribution to fully understanding Ukraine’s current struggle for freedom and what motivates her people, a theme that runs throughout much of the book.”
