83 Days in Mariupol: A War Diary

This graphic-novel account chronicles the first 83 days of the 2022 siege of Mariupol during Russia’s re-invasion of Ukraine. It explains how the city’s location on the Sea of Azov made it strategically important to Russia’s effort to establish a land route to Crimea. A quiet urban landscape quickly became a war zone, leaving residents with little certainty about how to stay safe. Through stark illustrations and a journalistic approach, the book records both the horrors of the siege and the resistance of Mariupol’s citizens.
