REPORTING THE WAR IN UKRAINE
A First draft of history.
It started with the invasion on 24 February 2022 by Vladimir Putin’s troops. At times it looked like this bush fire might conflate to a Third World War. It may still. This war or ‘special military operation’ (Putin’s euphemism) has been the most and best reported of the post-World War Two European conflagrations. Much of the coverage, especially on broadcast, has been stunning. Disturbing but good.
Here in the first draft of history we hear the accounts of frontline correspondents Stuart Ramsay and Deborah Haynes of Sky News, Orla Guerin and Paul Kenyon of the BBC, Alex Thomson of Channel Four News, Rohit Kachroo of ITV News, Kim Sengupta of the Independant and Richard Pendlebury of the Daily Mail. In addition there are notes on the cyber/intelligence war from Nick Waters of Bellingcat, Dr Alex Cannock, Dr Paul Lashmar and Dominic Selwood. Analysis from elsewhere is delivered by the legendary John Simpson, John Williams of RTE, John Ryley and Mark Grant of Sky News, Pulitzer Prize Winner David Cay Johnson on the USA. Marcus Ryder on China. Robin Aitken on Russophobia plus Paul Connew and Liz Gerard on newspaper coverage and more. Academic analysis too from Ivor Gaber, Andrew Beck and Wan Yu.
This book is designed not just to be the first but also the most comprehensive first draft of the history of the war in Ukraine.
