The Morning They Came for Us moves from a cosmopolitan 'bubble of parties' in 2011 to 'the aftermath of a barrel bomb' today as di Giovanni observes slaughter and rape with the equal (if occasionally opposing and heartbreaking) empathies of war correspondent and mother., Di Giovanni writes vividly and we see with her how Damascene supporters of Assad drift away as the brutality of his rule became impossible to deny...Di Giovanni explains to us how horrible it all really is., Necessary, difficult and elating...[C]lear-eyed and engaged in the best sense--engaged in the human realm rather than the abstractly political., What life is like for ordinary Syrians who have stayed behind is the subject of Janine di Giovanni's heartbreaking book...[U]nsensational but unsparing...[I]t is individual stories, rather than victims counted in the millions, that reveal the terrible cost of leaving dictators in place for the sake of 'stability.' , It is crucial to reveal the human stories behind the news - and in The Morning They Came for Us, Janine di Giovanni does this with heartbreaking eloquence...Her account of Syria is a testimony to the power of empathy, conscience and understanding., What life is like for ordinary Syrians who have stayed behind is the subject of Janine di Giovanni's heartbreaking book...[U]nsensational but unsparing...[I]t is individual stories, rather than victims counted in the millions, that reveal the terrible cost of leaving dictators in place for the sake of 'stability.' , Di Giovanni's work, informed by her extensive experience as a journalist, shows a keen ability to capture violent conflicts from multiple sides...This book, haunted by the international failure to intervene effectively, gives readers an on-the-ground experience of the devastating seasons that followed the promise of the Arab Spring...[Di Giovanni] makes its reality fully tangible and tragic., It is crucial to reveal the human stories behind the news--and...Janine di Giovanni does this with heartbreaking eloquence., Di Giovanni presents a devastating picture of thehorrors of civil war and the disintegration of Syrian society., Necessary, difficult and elating. [Di Giovanni's] reporting from the Syrian revolution and war is clear-eyed and engaged in the best sense - engaged in the human realm rather than the abstractly political. . . . Such reporters as Giovanni, who not only visit but also live (and often die) through wars not their own, are heroic. These are the Marie Colvins, Paul Conroys, Ali Mustafas of journalism, reporters motivated by commitment to the act of witnessing., Ms. di Giovanni writes here with urgency and anguish--determined to testify to what she has witnessed because she wants 'people never to forget.'...Her testimony is contained here in this searing and necessary book., With a potent mix of sensitivity and outrage, Di Giovanni relates firsthand accounts of deprivation and suffering from the people caught up in the conflict...[T]heir stories reveal in harrowing detail the horrific nature of the war. The expert perspective of this seasoned war correspondent proves invaluable to understanding Syria today., [Di Giovanni] is a master of war reporting, especially its civilian side. Thanks to her bitter sacrifice, Western readers may begin to appreciate the chaos that Syrian refugees continue to flee. This brilliant, necessary book will hopefully do for Syria what Herr's Dispatches (1977) did for Vietnam., Devastating . . . .  Like the work of the Belarussian Nobel laureate Svetlana Alexievich, Ms. di Giovanni's book gives voice to ordinary people living through a dark time in history; and like Anthony Shadid's powerful 2005 book, Night Draws Near (which recounted the aftermath of the American invasion of Iraq), it chronicles the intimate fallout that war has on women, children and families. A longtime reporter who covered the wars in Bosnia, Chechnya and Sierra Leone, Ms. di Giovanni writes here with urgency and anguish -- determined to testify to what she has witnessed because she wants 'people never to forget.' . . . . Her testimony is contained here in this searing and necessary book., Heartbreaking...[A] haunting reminder of what the Syrian revolution, ultimately, is about...Amid our obsession with ISIS, these tales are worth remembering.
Synopsis
A masterpiece of war reportage, The Morning They Came for Us bears witness to one of the most brutal internecine conflicts in recent history. Drawing from years of experience covering Syria for Vanity Fair , Newsweek , and the front page of the New York Times , 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., Winner of the IWMF Courage in Journalism Award Winner of the Hay Festival Medal for Prose Finalist for the NYPL Helen Bernstein Award for Excellence in Journalism Shortlisted for the Moore Prize for Nonfiction "Destined to become a classic." --Lisa Shea, Elle, A New York Post Best Book of 2016Winner of the 2016 IWMF Courage in Journalism AwardWinner of the 2016 Hay Festival Medal for Prose"Destined to become a classic." --Lisa Shea, Elle, Named one of the Best Books of the Year by Kirkus Reviews and the New York Post Winner of the IWMF Courage in Journalism Award Winner of the Hay Festival Medal for Prose Finalist for the NYPL Helen Bernstein Award for Excellence in Journalism Shortlisted for the Moore Prize for Nonfiction "Destined to become a classic." --Lisa Shea, Elle
