The eloquent title Everyday War, stuns us with the "banality of evil" in the spirit of Hannah Arendt and, at the same time, helps us to look into the inner world of people for whom the presence of war, however paradoxically, has become commonplace.
Kritika
Heartfelt, important, and engaging, author Greta Lynn Uehling's Everyday War is a must-read nonfiction book on the political and sociological effects of war, in particular the Donbas region. The way the author was able to bring to light the multitude of "players" in the field aside from the soldiers themselves, as well as the devastating losses people endured during the war, from property loss and injuries to emotional distress and even loss of loved ones, helps readers to gain a better, more nuanced yet moving idea of what these battles do to those struggling to survive in the midst of war.
