Warring long enough for book-length coverage

            Unlike the wars of 50, 100, or 150 years ago (and into the mist of time before writing existed), the February 24 invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation in 2022 has been documented by cellphone equipped civilians and service members, social media and the professional journalists, too, both in print and in video and photography. So it does not seem surprising to see a book on the shelves of this branch library for the city of Grand Rapids. However, even though publishing a book 24 months in the killing is not strange, it is still a feat to gather interviews, vetted sources of figures for budgets, equipment, lives, and everything else affected.

Like all wars, this one will end one day. Then the teaching about "love thy enemies" will be tested. The war crimes investigators will slowly and resolutely put together the threads and fragments of lives and livelihoods dashed in order to prosecute #PutinWarCriminal and his enablers all the way down to the conscripts torn up by the sharp point of the Ukrainian defenders.
