Trailer for the documentary “20 Days in Mariupol”

In the early days of the Russia-Ukraine war as troops advanced into Mariupol, AP’s Mstyslav Chernov stayed behind — among the last international journos.

Beach reads don’t get better than this.
Yes, it’s another book with an unreliable, unlikable, pill-popping, alcoholic, delusional narrator. But boy, is it entertaining. And that’s never a word you use for a story about stalking.
