The Ukrainian Night
Yale University Press, Jan 9, 2018 - History - 320 pages
A vivid and intimate account of the Ukrainian Revolution, the rare moment when the political became the existential
What is worth dying for?

In this lyrical and intimate book, Marci Shore evokes the human face of the Ukrainian Revolution. Grounded in the true stories of activists and soldiers, parents and children, Shores book blends a narrative of suspenseful choices with a historians reflections on what revolution is and what it means. She gently sets her portraits of individual revolutionaries against the past as they understand itand the future as they hope to make it.
She went to Ukraine to interview these people.

There are no options. Not even at the Democratic Convention. Joe Biden IS the Democratic nominee.
