Never Say War
'A totally unprecedented, behind the scenes portrait of Putin's Russia at war. Astonishing. A major work' ANTONY BEEVORPutin's Russia silences its citizens, targets foreign journalists and invaded a neighbouring country - while declaring it illegal to say the country is at war. This is what we know from the outside: but what does it feel like on the inside?The way into this question, for bestselling author and journalist Asne Seierstad, was young Russian soldier Andrey Medvedev, who defected from the infamous Wagner Group and sought asylum in Norway in January 2023. He was three years old when Putin rose to power and his life story mirrors the transformation of his country. And as Asne dug deeper into his family and connections, more and more of Russian society opened up to her, from teachers and farmers to reporters and women left behind by soldiers at war.Drawing upon Asne's deep knowledge of Russia and her unparalleled access to the country, Never Say War: Russian Lives Today paints an intimate yet epic portrait of a much-mythologized and little-understood country. With Asne's characteristic eye for narrative and detail, she takes us behind closed doors and illuminates the lives of individuals, helping us think about vital questions: how did present-day Russia come to be? And how are some Russians looking to change the future of their country?'An exquisite work of on-the-ground reportage conjuring all the violence, injustice and contradiction of wartime Russia. Novelistic-in-scope, insightful and humane' HOWARD AMOS, author of Russia Starts Here: Real Lives in the Ruin of Empire'What kind of man enlists to fight in Ukraine? A Russian soldier who runs from Wagner to seek asylum in Norway tells his heart-wrenching story to Asne Seierstad. A necessary read' JANA BAKUNINA, author of The Good Russian: In Search of a Nation's SoulPraise for Asne Seierstad:'The supreme non-fiction writer of her generation' Luke Harding'One of the greatest, most courageous journalists of our time' Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation'Seierstad manages to achieve a rare intimacy' New York Times on The Afghans'Both a masterpiece and a masterclass in investigative journalism' Christina Lamb on Two Sisters

'Sharply funny, beautifully told and so moving on the way life can upend itself in a single moment. I adored it’ CLARE LESLIE HALL, author of BROKEN COUNTRY'Impossible to put down' GILLIAN McALLISTER, author of WRONG PLACE WRONG TIME1978. In the sleepy New York suburb of Tallmadge, eighteen-year-old Mira Winston is beguiling, talented, and full of youthful recklessness.

In the days and years that follow, the events of that day become inextricably tied to the choices she has made – with devastating, unpredictable consequences for her family, her neighbours and friends, and Mira herself.She is forced to ask: what happens when one small moment – the swing of a golf club, a stolen kiss, a hastily written note – changes the course of an entire life?Mesmerizing and darkly funny, The Amateur unravels against a backdrop of white-picket-fenced streets, university dorm rooms, smoke-filled restaurants, and elegant country clubs. Turning a sharp eye to the American middle class, it is a hypnotic tale of power, morality, and the weight of blame.PRAISE FOR CHRIS BOHJALIAN‘A terrific writer . . .
